Import Tips
• Verify meat content and species origin with lab testing certificates to comply with USDA import regulations and avoid misclassification
• Include commercial invoice detailing processing method (e.g
• emulsified sausage) and ensure FSIS prior approval for the foreign facility
• Watch for common pitfalls like incomplete prior sanitation inspection documentation, which can delay clearance
