Import Tips

Obtain veterinary health certificates confirming disease-free status and proper slaughterhouse sourcing to comply with USDA and FDA import requirements

Maintain cold chain documentation throughout transit to ensure freshness, as improper preservation can lead to rejection at customs

Verify supplier compliance with CITES if sourcing from regions with endangered species risks, though bovine glands are generally exempt
