Import Tips
• Verify starch content exceeds 80% via Ewers method and ash under limits to stay in Chapter 11, not 2302
• Provide mill test certificates showing sieve passage and purity to prevent reclassification as meal
• Label clearly as 'potato starch' to distinguish from wheat or corn starches under 1108.12/1108.14
