Import Tips
• Polish or clean the seeds without hulling to maintain classification under 1008.50.00
• Provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential duty under a free trade agreement
• Verify that the product is free of saponins or declare if saponin removal was done, as this may affect processing status
