Import Tips
• Ensure pulp is dried (under 12% moisture) and free of soil or beet molasses to stay in 2308; wet pulp may face restrictions
• Include processing records showing extraction of sugar to confirm status as residue, not raw vegetable
• Test for pesticide residues common in beet crops to meet FDA animal feed import safety standards
