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
