Import Tips
• Provide strain-specific fatty acid profiles and growth media details for biotech import reviews
• Demonstrate carbon intensity scores <50 gCO2e/MJ for LCFS credits; pitfall is unproven scalability claims
• Ensure no genetically modified organism (GMO) declarations if applicable under USDA biotech rules
