Import Tips
• Include pelletizing process specs in entry docs to confirm it remains 'other solid residues' without additives
• Label clearly as 'hemp seed oilcake pellets' and test for contaminants to meet APHIS import standards
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as finished feed if no binders or flavors added
