Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% and ash below 2.5% per chapter note (A) using modified Ewers method to confirm classification in Chapter 11
• Provide lab analysis certificates documenting non-roasted status and sieve passage to prevent disputes at customs
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as roasted malt (1107.20), which changes duty and requires heat treatment proof
