Import Tips
• Verify the product is solely from cotton seeds and free of meat/milk derivatives to avoid reclassification under Chapter 23 quotas
• Provide extraction process documentation and lab analysis confirming protein/fiber content for CBP verification
• Ensure proper labeling as 'for animal feed only' to prevent issues with human food import regulations
