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
