Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'brewing waste' with origin certificates from licensed breweries
• Monitor pellet density and size specs, as non-standard forms may trigger valuation disputes
• Obtain veterinary import permits if destined for feed mills, avoiding common delays from undeclared contaminants
