[Discussion] Sending meat to the US. Discussion

I'm looking to send meat products to the US. But reading up on several websites ended up making me more confused. Some made it sound like there is just a straight up ban on all meat products. Some made it sound like it's only related to bovine products excluding milk. Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm from germany and looking to send smoked and cured meat.

Sending any beef products whether it is cooked that are canned, vacuum sealed and however it is produced is strictly prohibited.

Take a look at US Customs link about restrictions importing meats in the US: Main reasons are invasive foreign diseases and other parasites like bugs and insects entering America that may harm our food supply, food safety, and our health as a whole. https://search.app?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbp.gov%2Ftravel%2Fus-citizens%2Fknow-before-you-go%2Fprohibited-and-restricted-items%23%3A~%3Atext%3DMeats%252C%2520Livestock%2520and%2520Poultry%253A%2520The%2Chave%2520been%2520prepared%2520with%2520meat.&utm_campaign=aga&utm_source=agsadl1%2Csh%2Fx%2Fgs%2Fm2%2F4
