Import Tips
• Confirm the product is intended for human consumption and not as animal feed, which would fall under heading 2301
• If the supplement is encapsulated or has added excipients, it may be classified under Chapter 21 or 30
• Maintain documentation of the milling process to show it is a flour, not a waste product
