Import Tips
• Verify pellet form and cereal origin via milling certificates to confirm classification under 2302.40.0120
• Ensure residues are screenings/clearings, not mixed feeds, to avoid reclassification to Chapter 23 subheading 2309
• Provide documentation on moisture content (<14%) to prevent spoilage claims during inspection
