Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash under 1.6% per chapter notes using modified Ewers method to stay in Chapter 11
• Provide lab certificates confirming at least 95% passes 1.25mm sieve for 'meal' definition if fragmented from grains
• Avoid packaging as ready-to-use feed to prevent shift to Chapter 23; declare as raw pellets only
