Import Tips
• Verify starch and ash content per Chapter 11 notes to avoid reclassification to heading 2302 as low-starch cereal by-products
• Provide lab analysis certificates confirming derivation from dried bananas (Chapter 8) and sieve passage for flour definition
• Label as 'banana flour' clearly; mislabeling as 'banana powder' for non-food use risks duty adjustments or penalties
