Import Tips
• Document roasting temperature/time to prove minimal processing; excessive seasoning risks Chapter 21
• Allergen labeling mandatory (crustacean-like proteins); include country-of-origin insect species verification
• Avoid bulk packaging over 5kg which may trigger commercial food facility registration issues
