Import Tips
• Provide USDA organic equivalence certification if sourced from abroad to comply with NOP standards
• Test for pesticide residues and heavy metals, as alfalfa is prone to contamination; include lab reports in documentation
• Avoid common pitfall of particle size misrepresentation, which could reclassify as flour under Chapter 11
