Our first order of 180kg freeze dried mealworms was held at Australian biosecurity inspection for 11 days due to incomplete AQIS documentation — specifically missing the heat treatment declaration for insect products. This caused stock-out issues for two of our retail clients. However, the supplier took full responsibility, expedited the corrected paperwork, and provided a partial freight credit. The product itself tested well: 56% crude protein, 4.8% moisture, calcium at 1,280mg/100g. Second shipment arrived with all documentation pre-cleared in 17 days total. Issue appears resolved. Will continue ordering with improved pre-shipment document review.
