Import Tips
• Label as 'feed grade' if dockage exceeds 2%, but confirm it still qualifies under wheat tariff, not feed chapters
• FDA prior notice required for all wheat shipments; specify feed end-use to bypass some human food tests
• Monitor for ergot sclerotia levels (<0.02%) to prevent veterinary import holds
