Import Tips & Compliance
• Use CGC Number 1 or 2 grade designation; lower grades may face quota restrictions or higher scrutiny at U.S. ports
• Test for deoxynivalenol (DON) levels prior to shipment, as elevated mycotoxins trigger FDA detention
• Provide bill of lading specifying 'Canadian Western Red Winter' varietal to avoid default to general 1001.99 rates
