Import Tips
• Verify the flour meets the 95% passage through 2mm sieve for corn-like legumes or 1.25mm for others per Chapter 11 notes to avoid reclassification to 0713
• Provide lab analysis for starch and ash content if challenged
• Label accurately as 'chickpea flour' to prevent mix-up with wheat flours
