Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit FDA Prior Notice and comply with AAFCO specifications for feed-grade vitamins to expedite agricultural clearance
• Declare exact purity percentage and absence of anti-caking agents; admixtures trigger reclassification to 2936.29.50
• Avoid common pitfall of insufficient heavy metal testing (arsenic, lead <10ppm required for feed use approval)
