Import Tips
• Obtain veterinary health certificates confirming bones are from inspected animals and free of disease per USDA/APHIS requirements
• Declare exact species origin; bovine bones may trigger BSE (mad cow) scrutiny, requiring import permits
• Avoid misclassification as waste (0506.90.0060) by documenting minimal processing like crude steaming
