Import Tips
• Document bale composition to confirm 100% barley straw; mixed bales may require separate classification
• Avoid over-compression that mimics industrial pellets, potentially leading to fuel product scrutiny
• Phytosanitary certificates are crucial to prevent quarantine issues with unprepared agricultural residues
