Soybean Oilcake & Other Solid Soybean Extraction Residues

To enter under the certified organic line, the product must be certified under a USDA National Organic Program (NOP)-recognized certification body or an equivalent foreign organic certification accepted by USDA. Importers must retain organic certificates and chain-of-custody documentation; CBP may request these at entry.

Countries like Togo and Benin function as significant re-export hubs in global commodity trade. Soybean meal produced elsewhere — often in South America or Asia — may be transshipped through these ports. Importers should ensure country-of-origin documentation accurately reflects the country of substantial transformation (i.e., where crushing occurred), not merely the last port of shipment, to avoid origin misrepresentation issues.
