Import Tips

Verify organic certification from USDA or EU-equivalent bodies with Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to avoid reclassification during customs review

Provide documentation proving >80% starch content via Ewers method and low ash to confirm Chapter 11 eligibility

Declare exact protein content (>75%) as vital wheat gluten to prevent misclassification as general flour products
