Import Tips
• Verify poultry origin complies with USDA import regulations and provide slaughter/processing certificates to avoid holds
• Label products clearly with country of origin, ingredients, and net weight to meet FDA food labeling standards
• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as fresh meat (Chapter 02), which incurs different duties and inspections
