Import Tips
• Use photos or sieve analysis to prove 'chopped' particle size (2-10mm) distinguishing from ground or pellet forms
• Declare origin country clearly, as rye residues may trigger specific country quotas or restrictions
• Ensure no pesticide residues exceed feed safety limits per FDA import alerts
