Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming freedom from pests like wheat stem sawfly and compliance with USDA grade standards

Verify protein content via official lab testing (e.g

NIR analysis) as discrepancies can lead to reclassification or penalties

Declare exact moisture content (typically ≤14.5% for Grade 2) to avoid quarantine holds; use ventilated containers for bulk shipments
