Import Tips
• Verify the product is derived solely from cereal milling to avoid reclassification as general vegetable residues under 2302.50
• Provide milling process documentation and certificate of analysis confirming cereal origin during customs entry
• Watch for contamination with non-cereal elements, which could trigger FDA feed safety reviews or rejection
