Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'barley bran from milling' to distinguish from wheat bran under 2302.10; mismatches lead to audits
• Ensure compliance with USDA APHIS import permits if destined for ruminant feed due to potential BSE concerns
• Test for mycotoxins common in cereal brans; exceeding limits results in detention or destruction
