Import Tips
• Verify the product meets Chapter 11 starch and ash content requirements via lab testing to avoid reclassification to heading 2302
• Provide certificates of origin and cassava root sourcing docs from heading 0714 to confirm eligibility
• Label accurately as 'tapioca flour' not 'starch' to prevent shifts to Chapter 35 chemical products
