Import Tips
• Ensure the product is labeled as flour, not whole seeds, and confirm it is not mixed with other ingredients
• Declare the botanical name (Salvia hispanica) on customs documents to avoid classification disputes
• Verify the flour is not roasted or otherwise prepared beyond grinding, as that may shift classification
