Import Tips
• Verify airtight container integrity with pressure tests to meet FDA food safety standards and prevent classification disputes
• Provide detailed ingredient lists excluding cereals/vegetables; obtain veterinary certificates confirming bovine origin and curing process
• Label cans with country of origin, net weight, and 'corned beef' to comply with USDA labeling rules; watch for misclassification as uncured beef
