Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify starch content exceeds Chapter 11 minimum via Ewers method and ash under limits to avoid reclassification to 2302
β’ Provide mill certificates showing sieve passage for powder fineness; common pitfall is contamination with non-potato starches
β’ Label clearly as 'potato flour' not 'starch' to prevent confusion with Chapter 35 products
