Import Tips

• Verify moisture content (max 12%) and protein levels via lab testing to meet feed safety standards and avoid reclassification

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no contaminants like salmonella, required for all agricultural imports

• Declare exact processing method (solvent vs mechanical extraction) as it affects residue quality and potential FDA scrutiny
