Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'food grade' flaxseed to distinguish from agricultural planting seeds
• Include phytosanitary certificate from origin country to confirm freedom from pests like flaxseed weevils
• Avoid over-declaring value based on nutritional claims to prevent anti-dumping scrutiny
