Import Tips
• Obtain USDA NOP certification documentation for all shipments to verify organic status and prevent CBP challenges
• Provide mill test reports confirming sieve passage rates per Chapter 11 notes to distinguish from flours in 1101
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'instant oats' which could shift to processed goods in Chapter 19
