Import of animal feed

Question:
My company wants to import finished animal feed in the form of 10kg / bag and then wants to repack with the same packaging, but with the specifications of 0.5kg and 1kg, do I need any conditions to be reprocessed? Does the warehouse need to request anything when selling to the market?
