Import Tips
• Pellet size uniformity (5-8mm diameter) affects transport efficiency; irregular sizes increase shipping costs
• Urease index testing (<0.2 mg N/g/min) proves proper heat treatment during processing
• Declare country of origin precisely; Argentina/Brazil dominate supply with favorable duty treatment
