Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain from slaughter to port; temperature logs prevent disputes over 'fresh' vs 'salted' status
• Include veterinary health certificates confirming no diseases like BSE, mandatory for bovine imports
• Avoid over-salting which could lead to pickling reclassification; aim for standard wet-salt levels
