Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 14% to meet feed safety standards and avoid spoilage during transit
• Obtain certificate of analysis confirming it's beet-pulp waste, not mixed with other residues, for CBP classification
• Check for pesticide residues from beet farming; common pitfall is rejection due to non-compliant fumigation
