A tonnage payment is required for animal feed and feed ingredients manufactured in Minnesota except in the following circumstances:
- Registered pet and specialty pet food sold exclusively in packages of 10 pounds or less
- Ingredients in a customer formula feed that have been directly furnished by the customer
- Feed or feed ingredients already covered under a Tonnage Fee Exemption Permit
Please see the “Who Needs to Pay Tonnage” section above for more information on Tonnage Fee Exemptions.
When a product is distributed in a package greater than 10 pounds, paying tonnage fees in lieu of registration is an option. If a licensed product is distributed in packages exclusively less than 10 pounds, then registration must be paid, and tonnage is not an option.
Your payment must be postmarked by the due date of application. Please note that late penalties are assessed by postmark date, not receipt date. You must include all late penalties with your paperwork as we cannot waive late penalties. If you want to appeal, you may send an e-mail to mda.licensing@state.mn.us or call 651-201-6062.
