Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify residue purity and oil extraction method via certificate of analysis to confirm vegetable fat origin and avoid reclassification
• Ensure compliance with FDA feed safety regs; provide documentation on no GM contamination if destined for organic markets
• Watch for moisture content limits (typically <12%) to prevent mold during shipping; common pitfall leading to rejection
