Import Tips
• Ensure documentation shows 'picnic' as shoulder cut to prevent misclassification as ham under different subheading
• Conduct shelf-life testing for canned pork to meet FDA low-acid canned food regulations
• Avoid common pitfall of exceeding 1kg net weight, which shifts to higher container size subheadings
