Import Tips
• Use commercial invoice detailing flake types and preparation method to support 1904 classification over Chapter 11
• Check for moisture content to ensure 'prepared' status beyond Chapter 10/11 levels
• Avoid nuts/seeds exceeding typical levels, as high inclusions may trigger reclassification as mixtures
