Import Tips & Compliance

Verify starch content exceeds 80% via modified Ewers method and ash under 2.5% to stay in Chapter 11, avoiding reclassification to 2302

Provide mill test certificates documenting sieve passage and purity for CBP compliance

Avoid mixing with additives that could shift to Chapter 33 if perfumery-like or Chapter 19 if prepared flour
