Import Tips

• Verify the product is non-pelletized alfalfa meal to confirm HTS 1214.10.00.60; pellets shift to other subheadings

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving freedom from pests and diseases, required for all plant-based forage imports

• Label with protein content, moisture levels, and origin to meet FDA animal feed safety standards and avoid misclassification
