Import Tips
• Document barley purity (>95% single grain) via test reports to avoid 'mixed residues' under other subheadings
• Specify end-use as animal feed on entry to prevent scrutiny as human food under Chapter 11
• Monitor moisture content (<14%) to comply with phytosanitary standards for grain byproducts
