Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash below 1.6% using modified Ewers method to confirm Chapter 11 eligibility over 2302
• Provide mill test certificates documenting sieve passage and purity to avoid reclassification as prepared flours in 1901
• Label as 'gluten-free' only if tested; check FDA prior notice for food imports to prevent CBP holds
