Import Tips
• Include third-party lab tests for salmonella and heavy metals, as pet food is high-risk for contamination
• Label in English with feeding directions and calorie content per AAFCO guidelines to pass CBP review
• Avoid misdeclaring as 'supplement' to prevent reclassification and penalties
