Import Tips
• Include Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) grade certificates aligning with U.S

• File prior notice via FDA's system for agricultural commodities to expedite entry processing
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no admixture of lower grades exceeding 5%, which could downgrade classification
