Corn Pellets from Japan
Corn pellets are produced by compressing corn (maize) meal or groats, where at least 95% by weight passes through a 2 mm sieve as required by Chapter 11 Note 3. They meet the starch (>45%) and ash (<2%) content criteria for maize. These pellets are commonly used in livestock feed and pet food formulations.

Import Tips
• Verify that the corn pellets meet the 95% through 2 mm sieve requirement and the starch/ash thresholds to stay in heading 11.03
• Since corn pellets are not listed under the wheat or barley quota items, use code 1103.20.90
• Prepare documentation showing the sieve analysis and composition in case CBSA inspects the shipment
