Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'millet milling sharps' to distinguish from legume middlings under 2302.50
• Provide lab analysis showing >50% cereal content to prevent reclassification as mixed feed in 2309
• Monitor for sorghum contamination, as blends may shift to different 'other cereals' interpretations by CBP
