Import Tips
• Provide drying process details and moisture content analysis to confirm classification as dried mollusc, not a meal or pellet
• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits if destined for animal feed use to prevent quarantine issues
• Label accurately to distinguish from human-consumable flours under 0309; mislabeling leads to reclassification
