Import Tips
• Provide origin certificates for soya and corn to trace GMO status, critical for US bioengineered food disclosures
• Test for moisture content to ensure stability; high moisture risks mold and reclassification as perishable
• Avoid retail-style labeling to maintain bulk 'not elsewhere specified' status under 1901.90
