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
