Import Tips

• Verify reducing sugar content via lab testing to confirm <10% DE for HTS 3505 classification; exceeding this shifts to 1702

• Provide certificates of analysis showing starch source and modification process to avoid misclassification as unmodified starch

• Ensure food-grade dextrins include FDA compliance docs if destined for edible uses to prevent CBP holds
