Import Tips
• Verify starch content via modified Ewers polarimetric method exceeds chapter limits and ash content is low to avoid reclassification to 2302
• Provide mill test certificates confirming 95%+ passage through 2mm sieve if fragmented from corn grains
• Label clearly as food-grade corn starch to prevent mixing with industrial starches under different regulations
