Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 14% to prevent mold during shipping; test certificates often required by customs
• Provide documentation proving it's a brewing byproduct, not human food grade, to avoid reclassification
• Check for pesticide residues as vegetable origin; fumigation certificates may be needed for bulk shipments
