Not in Ice Chest that I know of. Airlines in USA have never said anything when checking it in as Cargo. Worse that could happen is Panama Custom Agent keeps it and takes it home with him. Smuggling frozen USDA meat into Panama is not a high priority. Fresh veggies and fruit is another story.MSEE, PEComment

Nah either myself, Daughter or Wife just fill a cooler with beef frozen with Dry Ice pack and tip the custom agent $20. Hell my Wife and Daughter don't even need to tip the SOB. Daughter just flashes some T&A at the agent, and Wife puts a Medical Supply Red Tape seal and shows her Panama Medical VISA PassportSolar Queen

TSA says a small amount is allowed (at least in 2013 when this was written).
TSA Travel Tips Tuesday: Dry Ice
Questions about the transportation of dry ice generally fall into the hazmat realm where FAA has primary oversight. Since we often get dry ice questions, I felt that it would be a great topic for Travel Tips Tuesday.
My first tip is to check with your airline for any guidance they might have on traveling with dry ice. Dry ice is not prohibited by TSA. Secondly, as far as FAA regulations go, dry ice is permissible when traveling with perishables as long as you adhere to the following guidelines.
Packages of dry ice must allow for the release of carbon dioxide gas.
The limit for dry ice for both carry-on and checked baggage is five-pounds.
Packages of dry ice must contain the language "Carbon Dioxide Solid" or "Dry Ice" and must also have the net weight of the dry ice on the package.
See you next Tuesday with more travel tips!

Bribing customs - how cute! Not to mention really bad form.
I stand corrected - I was interested in the quantity allowed -
(10) Dry ice (carbon dioxide,
solid), in quantities not
exceeding 2.0 kg (4.4 pounds) per person in carryon baggage or 2.3 kg (5 pounds) per person in
checked baggage, when used
to refrigerate perishables. The
packaging must permit the release of carbon dioxide gas. For checked baggage, the package must be marked
‘‘DRY ICE’’ or ‘‘CARBON DIOXIDE,
SOLID’’ and must be marked with the net weight of dry ice or an
indication the net weight is
2.3 kg (5 pounds) or less.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Comment

It works. Like any law enforcement, the agent uses their own discretion to decide which laws are enforced or not. Frozen meat is not a priority. They just simply are not going to waste their time jacking my beef. To much paperwork. They will do one of two things.
1. Ignore it
2. Take it from you, keep it for themselves, and send you on your way.
Now if you are talking large commercial sized quantities that could hurt the economy and local markets is another story. But 50 pounds for personal use they could careless about.MSEE, PEComment
