Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash below 2.5% using modified Ewers polarimetric method to confirm classification in Chapter 11 vs 2302
• Provide mill test certificate documenting sieve passage (min 80% through 500μm for wheat) and durum wheat origin
• Avoid misclassification as common wheat flour (1101.00.00.10); specify durum variety on commercial invoice
