Import Tips
• Obtain certificates confirming no GMO content if targeting organic markets; EU-sourced high-erucic varieties may require additional testing
• Label moisture content accurately (typically <12%) to comply with feed safety regs and avoid mold during transit
• Avoid contamination with animal byproducts to prevent TRQ restrictions under 2309 notes
