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
