Import Tips
• Include drying method certification from supplier to differentiate from oven-dried products in other subheadings
• Package in moisture-proof bags to maintain quality during ocean transit, avoiding mold issues that trigger rejections
• Declare as 'for animal consumption only' to steer clear of food-grade scrutiny under different chapters
