Import Tips
• Provide pasteurization process logs and lab tests for pathogens to meet FDA import standards
• Check for country-specific quotas or AD/CVD orders, especially from Asia; use bonds for suspended entries
• Avoid pitfalls by declaring exact preparation method—mislabeling as 'cooked' vs 'pasteurized' can trigger reclassification
