Import Tips
• Include milling certificates showing >80% starch and sieve passage per chapter note (B) for wheat to stay in 1101-1104 or malt headings
• Label clearly as 'not roasted' with production process details to distinguish from roasted malt in 1107.20
• Watch for contamination that raises ash content over limits, triggering shift to heading 2302
