Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify country of origin documentation, as certain preserved meats may face additional FDA prior notice and import alerts for contaminants
• Ensure labeling complies with USDA and FDA requirements for species identification and nutritional content on preserved offal products
• Avoid misclassification as fresh frozen frog legs under Chapter 3, which have different duties and require cold chain logistics
