Import Tips
• Submit FDA Prior Notice with exact fat analysis; variance >1% risks reclassification and penalties
• Use NAFTA/USMCA marking requirements; 'Product of Mexico' insufficient—needs origin statement
• Monitor annual GN15 utilization reports; late-year imports may face backlogs despite duty-free status
