Import Tips

• Obtain origin certificates specifying duck species to comply with CITES if from wild birds, though most are farm-raised

• Document hydrolysis temperature (typically 120-140°C) to prove pathogen inactivation, avoiding quarantine delays

• Declare exact moisture content (<10%) on invoices, as high moisture can lead to mold claims and duty adjustments
