Our first order of 1,000 kg defatted mealworm powder hit a customs hold in Dubai because the export health certificate lacked a specific field required by UAE MOCCAE feed import regulations. This caused an 8-day delay. After escalating to the supplier's logistics team, they worked directly with their certifying authority to issue a corrected document, and the shipment cleared without further issues. Product quality itself was good — crude protein at 58% dry matter, moisture at 7.3%. The supplier has since updated their UAE documentation checklist. Cautiously optimistic for the next order.
