Import Tips
• Verify product is solely corn-derived residue post-oil extraction to avoid reclassification under 2302 for corn bran
• Provide mill test reports confirming no addition of milk derivatives to comply with Chapter 23 quantitative limits
• Label clearly as 'animal feed supplement' to prevent scrutiny as human food under different chapters
