Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of analysis confirming low moisture content (<8%) to prevent mold during transit
• Declare intended use accurately; food-grade requires FDA prior notice, while feed-grade needs APHIS clearance
• Watch for misdeclaration as 'kernels' which might push into higher-duty prepared categories
