Import Tips
• Label rye content precisely; blends over certain thresholds may trigger different grain tariffs
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying seeded rye as 'containing nuts'—seeds are not confectionery
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'bread, not for retail as pastry' to prevent subheading shifts
