Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'crude, not for human consumption' to prevent FDA reclassification during customs inspection
• Provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming inactive status and crude nature to comply with CBP entry requirements
• Watch for duty drawbacks if re-exported as part of pet food formulations; declare accurately to avoid penalties
