Import Tips
• Ensure pellets are uniformly sized (typically 3-8mm) to meet 'pellet' definition and avoid bulk dried classification
• Include lab analysis showing high starch (>20%) to support tariff classification
• Check for fumigation certificates if shipped in bulk containers to prevent quarantine issues
