Import Tips
• Obtain country-of-origin certificate; preferential duties may apply for certain Andean producers under trade agreements
• Inspect for admixtures (e.g
• field corn); over 1% foreign material triggers rejection or reconditioning fees
• Label packages with lot codes for traceability, aiding FDA random sampling for contaminants
