Import Tips
• Include processing logs showing hydrolysis conditions (pressure, temperature) to prove it's feather meal, not rendered products
• Register as animal feed ingredient with destination FDA equivalent if required for bulk imports
• Monitor ash content (under 4%) to meet quality specs and avoid rejection
