About Beef and Beef Products

Beef and beef products include fresh meat, ground beef, beef jerky, and processed beef items. Most countries restrict or prohibit fresh beef due to mad cow disease (BSE) and foot-and-mouth disease risks. Commercially packaged, cooked, or shelf-stable beef products are more acceptable. Always declare beef products at customs.
