Import Tips
• Use ISPM 15 compliant wooden pallets if packaged, though bulk typically ships loose in vessels
• Submit FDA prior notice for all grain imports, even feed-grade, to expedite CBP clearance
• Label shipments clearly as 'not for human consumption' to prevent reclassification under food safety rules
