Import Tips & Compliance
• Use ISPM-15 compliant wooden pallets for pellets to prevent quarantine issues at US ports
• Provide roasting temperature logs if requested, as incomplete oxidation may trigger scrutiny
• Avoid bulk packaging without inner liners; dust loss can lead to disputes over declared weight
