Import Tips
• Obtain veterinary health certificates proving feathers are from disease-free flocks to comply with USDA import regulations for poultry by-products
• Label packages clearly as 'feather meal for animal feed only' to avoid confusion with human food products
• Check for moisture content limits (under 10%) in specs to prevent mold issues during ocean shipping
