Import Tips
• Obtain EU export documentation confirming reduced refund status to support duty drawback claims
• Test for moisture content below 12.5% to confirm uncooked status and avoid reclassification
• Use ISF filing early; pasta shipments often face delays if protein/fiber content not pre-declared
