Import Tips
• Verify protein content via certified lab analysis (e.g
• NIR testing) and include certificates in documentation to match HTS 1001.99.00.18 criteria
• Provide official grading certificates from exporting country (e.g
• Canadian Grain Commission) to avoid reclassification to lower-protein codes
• Watch for common pitfalls like moisture content exceeding 14.5%, which could trigger quality disputes or quota restrictions
