Import Tips
• Include phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests common to sunflower seeds like sunflower moth
• Use retail-ready packaging to support 'human use' claim; bulk bags risk feed classification
• Audit supply chain for organic integrity to pass FDA import alerts on adulterated organics
