Import Tips
• Ensure the tincture is alcohol-free or contains no more than 0.5% alcohol to avoid classification as an alcoholic beverage under Chapter 22
• Keep documentation showing it is not a medicament of heading 30.03 or 30.04
• Verify the extract is not put up as confectionery, which would shift it to heading 17.04
