Import Tips

• Verify the product is fully cooked, boned, and packed in airtight containers like tins or glass jars to qualify under 1602.41.20; incomplete processing may shift to fresh meat codes

• Provide FDA prior notice and ensure labeling complies with USDA meat import regulations, including country of origin and inspection certificates

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as unboned hams, which could lead to reclassification and higher duties or penalties
