Import Tips
• Test for 95% passage through 2mm sieve specific to corn products to qualify as 1103 groats/meal/pellets
• Include lab reports on dry weight starch (>90%) and ash (<2%) to prevent reclassification to 2302
• Label clearly as feed-grade to avoid pharma or prepared food scrutiny under excluded chapters
