Import Tips
• Verify bovine meat content exceeds 50% by weight and label accurately to avoid reclassification as a general food product
• Include commercial invoice detailing preparation method and ingredients; ensure FDA prior notice for ready-to-eat meals
• Watch for country-of-origin marking pitfalls—mixed origins may require detailed sourcing documentation
