Import Tips
• Use ISPM-15 compliant wooden pallets for bulk shipments to prevent quarantine issues from wood pests
• Declare varietal purity to distinguish from durum corn (1005.90.20), avoiding higher scrutiny
• Budget for fumigation if shipping from high-quarantine risk areas like parts of South America
