Import Tips
• Ensure the sorghum starch is unmodified and passes at least 90% through a 500-micron sieve, as per Chapter 11 for grain sorghum
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing starch content above 45% and ash content below 2%
• Declare the end use in bioethanol production to support classification as an industrial starch
