Import Tips
• Verify processing method documentation to confirm swelling/roasting beyond Chapter 11 levels for proper 1904 classification
• Ensure no retail packaging if using .80 subheading to avoid statistical breaks; provide production certificates
• Watch for milk solids content declarations if flavored, as exceeding thresholds shifts to other dairy-cereal headings
