Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis reports on moisture content (typically under 15% for sun-cured) to support classification and quality claims
• Obtain import permits from APHIS if sourced from regions with restricted forage pests like alfalfa weevils
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no synthetic preservatives are added, which could reclassify as prepared feed
