Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify airtight seal integrity and include lab analysis for meat content to meet FDA import requirements
• Label with country of origin, ingredients, and nutritional info per USDA/FSIS regulations; common pitfall is missing slaughter inspection certificates
• Ensure containers are steel or aluminum tins explicitly for airtight preservation to avoid reclassification
