Import Tips

• Specify end-use as pet/livestock feed on commercial invoice to prevent reclassification as human food

• Check for mycotoxin levels, common in sun-cured products; FDA requires safety data for import clearance

• Use proper NAICS code 111150 for alfalfa forage to facilitate customs processing
