Import Tips & Compliance
• Label fiber and sugar content accurately; molasses addition must not exceed 10% to stay as 'waste'
• Include lab tests for mycotoxins, as beet pulp is prone to contamination during storage
• Avoid shipping in bulk bags if not pelleted; opt for totes to prevent leakage and classification disputes
