Import Tips
• Verify oil content to confirm non-defatted status per Chapter 12 notes; fully defatted products may shift to heading 2304
• Provide lab analysis certificates for protein and fat content to avoid misclassification as soy grits
• Ensure labeling distinguishes from mustard-derived flours to stay within this subheading
