Import Tips
• Pellet durability index testing required; poor quality pellets may be rejected at port or reclassified as unpelleted
• Label with guaranteed analysis (protein, fat, fiber) per AAFCO standards for smooth FDA clearance
• Check for anti-nutritional factors like urease activity; high levels (>0.2) trigger further processing requirements
