Import Tips
• Include lab analysis proving ≥80% starch and ≤2.5% ash to prevent downgrade to heading 2302
• Ensure no roasting or flavoring that could shift to coffee substitutes (0901) or prepared products
• Declare fiber content accurately; high-ash whole grain may trigger scrutiny for 1104 classification
