Import Tips
• Verify starch >80% and ash ≤2.5% via Ewers method; test certificates prevent reclassification to 2302
• Ensure 95% passes 1.25mm sieve for 'meal' definition; bulk packaging avoids retail set issues
• Label as 'wheat groats/meal' not flour to comply with Chapter 11 exclusions from 1101
