Import Tips
• Ensure you have a valid quota allocation or permit for barley starch under the within access commitment; otherwise, the over-access rate (tariff item 1108.19.12) applies, which is significantly higher

• Verify the packaging weight inclusion rule if packages are ≤1 kg each, as packaging weight counts toward duty calculation
