Import Tips
• Declare exact varietal (e.g
• 'Zea mays everta') on commercial invoice to support HTS 1005.90.4040 classification
• Fumigate shipments with phosphine if originating from high-quarantine risk areas like South America
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 'corn grits' which would incorrectly shift to higher-duty processed categories
