Import Tips

• Verify dehydration process documentation to confirm it meets 'dehydrated' criteria under HTS 1214, distinguishing from fresh or silage forms

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving alfalfa is free from pests like alfalfa weevil, required for USDA APHIS clearance

• Label packages clearly with protein content, moisture levels (<10% typical for dehydrated), and forage origin to avoid reclassification as feed residues
