Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash under 3% per chapter notes using modified Ewers method to avoid reclassification to 2302
• Provide mill test certificates documenting sieve passage (95% through 2mm for corn) and dry product weight compliance
• Label clearly as 'corn flour' to distinguish from corn starch (1108) and avoid FDA scrutiny on mislabeling
