Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming freedom from pests like ergot, common in rye products
• Declare exact cereal source; vague descriptions lead to 2302.50 default and higher scrutiny
• Bulk shipments require proper ventilation to prevent mold; inspect upon arrival to avoid claims
