Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity via certificate of analysis to confirm >95% inulin content, avoiding reclassification as starch under 1108.12
• Provide botanical origin documentation (e.g
• dahlia tubers) to distinguish from chicory inulin if questioned by CBP
• Label as 'food grade' with FDA prior notice; common pitfall is missing ash/starch tests per Chapter 11 notes
