Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash below 2.5% using modified Ewers method to confirm Chapter 10 classification
• Provide mill test certificates documenting dry weight composition to avoid reclassification to heading 2302
• Label products clearly as 'wheat flour' to prevent confusion with prepared flours in Chapter 19
