Import Tips
• Ensure grinding does not constitute 'processing' that shifts to Chapter 20; keep as minimally processed
• Provide supplier affidavits confirming non-GMO status if targeting organic markets
• Monitor EU export bans on high-erucic products, though not directly applicable, for supply chain risks
