Import Tips
• Verify reducing sugar content is ≤10% (as dextrose on dry basis) via lab testing to confirm classification in 3505, not 1702
• Provide certificates of origin and starch source documentation proving potato derivation to avoid reclassification
• Label products clearly as 'potato-derived dextrin' and check for exclusions like enzymatic preps in chapter 34
