Import Tips
• Verify pork origin with USDA import permits and ensure compliance with FSIS prior notification requirements for meat products
• Label products accurately with country of origin, ingredients, and net weight to avoid FDA detention; include safe handling instructions
• Watch for common pitfalls like misclassification as fresh meat (Chapter 2) or failure to meet minimum processing standards for Chapter 16
