Import Tips
• Ensure the chlorella is dried and not a live culture, as live cultures fall under heading 30.02
• Keep certificates of analysis showing it is fit for human consumption to support the classification
• Verify that no additives or binders exceed 3% by weight, which could alter the tariff classification
