Import Tips
• Verify starch purity via lab testing to confirm compliance with chapter notes on starch content exceeding specified thresholds
• Provide certificates of origin and analysis showing non-GMO status if targeting organic markets to avoid delays
• Avoid misclassification as wheat starch (1108.11); check sieve passage and ash content against chapter table
