Import Tips
• Provide APHIS import permit and confirm pathogen-free status via lab testing to meet US animal health standards
• Label shipments clearly as 'not for human consumption' to prevent FDA reclassification issues
• Watch for moisture content limits; excessive humidity can trigger spoilage claims at customs
