Import Tips
• Label moisture content accurately (typically under 15%) to comply with FDA import standards and prevent mold issues
• Include commercial invoice specifying end-use (e.g
• feed vs food) to avoid duties under preferential programs like USMCA
• Test for aflatoxin levels below 20 ppb as required by most importers to pass customs inspection
