Import Tips
• Submit lab analysis proving swelling/roasting process to distinguish from Chapter 10/11 raw grains
• Label accurately for non-corn cereals; mislabeling as maize risks reclassification
• Check for additives; high sugar or flavor coatings may push into prepared food headings like 1904.90
