Import Tips
• Confirm the ash content (after deducting added minerals) does not exceed 2% and starch content exceeds 45% to avoid reclassification to heading 23.02
• Include a certificate of analysis from the mill in your import documentation
• Check if the cornmeal is for human consumption, which may require a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) import declaration
