Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'flaxseed chaff for animal feed only' to prevent misuse classification as human food under different chapters
• Conduct moisture content tests pre-shipment; high moisture risks mold and rejection under USDA import standards
• Use ISF filings early due to agricultural product status and potential APHIS inspections
