Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% via modified Ewers method and ash under 2.5% to stay in Chapter 11, providing lab certificates
• Label clearly as 'wheat starch' not 'flour' to prevent reclassification to 1101; include sieve test results if requested
• Check for additives; any minerals inflate ash content, risking shift to heading 2302—declare dry weight basis
