Import Tips

• Include processing records proving partial defatting/refatting to distinguish from feed residues in 2304

• Check for mycotoxin contamination certificates, common pitfall in soy imports leading to quarantines

• Ensure commercial invoice specifies 'of soybeans' and grind size to match subheading description
