Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare intended end-use as animal feed on CBP Form 3461 to facilitate FDA prior notice
• Anti-caking agents are allowed per chapter note (f); document as stabilizer to prevent reclassification
• Batch testing for heavy metals essential; common rejection cause in port inspections
