Import Tips

Conduct lab testing for starch content (>80% via Ewers method) and ash (<2.5%) to confirm Chapter 11 eligibility; otherwise, reclassifies to 2302

Provide mill certificates documenting wheat variety as hard spring (e.g

AC Barrie or CDC Teal) and sieve passage rates for customs verification

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as soft wheat flour, which shifts to general 1101.00 subheadings; ensure dry weight basis reporting
