Import Tips
• 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
