Import Tips

• Verify the product is derived solely from corn with no additives to qualify under single cereal grain residues; mixed grains shift classification

• Provide milling process documentation and lab analysis confirming chop/crush/ground state to avoid misclassification as raw bran

• Check for GMO declarations if destined for EU markets, as corn residues often face scrutiny
