Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to confirm classification as 'flour/meal' per chapter note (b), avoiding potato/legume exclusions
• Include batch testing certificates for contaminants like heavy metals, common in cereal imports for children
• Declare exact milk solids if any (kg cmsc unit) to prevent reclassification under dairy-based preparations
