Dark Rye Flour from China
Dark rye flour is a high-extraction flour milled from whole rye kernels, retaining more of the bran and germ than lighter rye flours. It meets the Chapter 11 criteria for rye flour with a starch content exceeding 45% and an ash content not exceeding 2.5% by weight on the dry product. This product falls under tariff item 1102.90.30 as rye flour, distinct from barley flour or other cereal flours.

Import Tips
• Ensure the flour meets the starch (>45%) and ash (≤2.5%) content limits per Chapter 11, as the CBSA may require lab analysis
• Declare the product as 'rye flour' under 1102.90.30, not as a mixture or other cereal flour
• Keep records of the milling process and sieve test results (80% passing through 315 µm) to support classification
