Import Tips

• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash ≤2.5% via modified Ewers polarimetric method to confirm Chapter 11 eligibility

• Provide mill test certificates showing sieve passage rates and no added minerals for smooth CBP clearance

• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as animal feed (2302) if retail-packaged; label clearly as human food flour
