Import Tips
• Verify protein content certification from accredited labs using NIR testing to match HTS 1001.99.00.17 specifications and avoid reclassification
• Include phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like wheat rust, as required for wheat imports into the U.S
• Declare exact grade and protein via official Canadian Grain Commission or USDA standards to prevent customs holds
