Import Tips

Verify USDA FSIS prior approval for the foreign processing facility and ensure all labeling meets bilingual English/Spanish requirements for canned meats

Provide certificates of origin and processing records to confirm boneless, cooked status and avoid misclassification as fresh or frozen pork

Watch for common pitfalls like inadequate airtight seal documentation, which can trigger FDA re-inspection or duty reassessment
