Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash below limits per chapter note (A) using modified Ewers method to avoid reclassification to 2302
• Provide mill test certificates confirming mixture proportions and sieve passage for 1102 eligibility
• Label clearly as 'gluten-free' if applicable, but avoid pharmaceutical claims to stay out of Chapter 30
