Import Tips
• Verify product is solely flaxseed screenings/chaff without additives to avoid reclassification under 2309 for mixed feeds
• Provide processing certificates confirming ground/not ground state and origin to meet CBP documentation requirements
• Check for pesticide residues as agricultural byproducts often face enhanced FDA/USDA scrutiny at entry
