Import Tips & Compliance
• Use phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like fusarium to comply with USDA APHIS import rules
• Declare exact protein via export inspection reports to prevent downgrading to HTS 1001.99.0016 (lower protein)
• Avoid bulk shipments without proper fumigation, as residue limits could lead to quarantine or rejection
