Import Tips
• Confirm airtight sealing method (e.g
• vacuum or heat-sealed jars) and include processing certificates to prove compliance with subheading requirements
• Comply with FSIS import inspection protocols; ensure no additives violate U.S. meat import standards
• Watch for reclassification if packed in non-airtight containers, potentially moving to frozen or refrigerated codes
