Import Tips
• Include production process certificates proving swelling/roasting to differentiate from Chapter 11 rice preparations
• Label accurately to show cereal base without exceeding vegetable flour limits from Chapter Note (b)
• Watch for contamination with cocoa over 6%, triggering reclassification to chocolate preparations in 1806
