Import Tips
• Include extrusion process documentation to prove texturization, distinguishing from plain soy flour under 2106.90
• Label clearly as 'not for direct consumption' if sold bulk to avoid retail food prep classification
• Monitor for allergen cross-contamination, requiring soy declaration on import paperwork
