Import Tips
• Verify CITES compliance if sourcing from endangered species, though bovine is generally unrestricted
• Provide lab certificates confirming acid treatment and degelatinization to avoid misclassification as untreated bones
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from edible bone meal to prevent FDA food import scrutiny
