    Cat litter is not a product subject to specialized management or licensing requirements, so businesses can import it normally. However, importing cat litter made from soybeans (plant-based) requires plant quarantine inspection.

    PRODUCT NAME: PLANT-BASED CAT LITTER

    HS CODE: 14049099

    Import documents for cat litter include:

    • Import customs declaration form.
    • Sales Contract.
    • Commercial Invoice.
    • Packing List.
    • Bill of Lading/Airway Bill.
    • Certificate of Origin (CO) (if available to qualify for preferential tax treatment).
    • Exporter's original quarantine certificate (Phytosanitary Certificate)

    The process includes the following steps:
