Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'pure wheat gluten' not 'seitan mix' to prevent erroneous Chapter 16 classification
• Retain milling records showing compliance with 95% passage through 1.25mm sieve for groats/meal standards
• Check for GMO-free certification if targeting premium organic markets, as CBP may scrutinize supply chain
