Import Tips

Verify the yeast is crude and unprocessed with lab analysis certificates to avoid misclassification as refined nutritional yeast under 2102.20.20

Include brewing origin documentation and moisture content tests (typically under 8%) to meet FDA import standards for inactive yeasts

Avoid common pitfalls like contamination claims by ensuring proper bulk packaging and phytosanitary certificates for animal feed use
