Import Tips
• Include origin certificates distinguishing from GM varieties, as some countries restrict certain canola traits
• Test for moisture content (<12%) to prevent mold during ocean freight, a common rejection cause
• Avoid misdeclaring as 'for sowing' which shifts to higher-duty 1209 codes; specify oilseed use in commercial invoice
