Import Tips
• Verify origin certificate to confirm derivation from rice milling, as misclassification to Chapter 23 beet pulp is common
• Ensure product is not pelleted from legumes to avoid reclassification under 2302.50; provide milling process documentation
• Check for aflatoxin levels in rice bran, as high moisture content can lead to CBP holds during import inspection
