Import Tips
• USFWS declaration mandatory for cervid products due to CWD (chronic wasting disease) risks
• Document harvest date to prove velvet stage; post-velvet hard antler changes classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that implies processing—ship in individual wraps to maintain 'simply prepared' status
