Import Tips
• Document the milling process to show the product is flour, not groats or meal, by providing sieve test results (80% through 315 µm)
• Verify the ash content stays within 2.5% after deducting any added minerals, as per Chapter Note 2(A)
• Be prepared to provide a sample for CBSA lab testing if the starch content is questioned
