Import Tips
• Verify AAFCO nutritional adequacy statements on labels to meet FDA import requirements for pet food
• Provide Certificate of Analysis for ingredients to prevent holds at customs due to contamination concerns
• Confirm retail packaging (under 25kg bags) to avoid reclassification to bulk non-retail subheadings
