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
