• Confirm the leaves are not mixed with areca nuts or other ingredients, as mixtures may be classified as food preparations under Chapter 21
• Be aware that betel leaves may be subject to food safety inspections by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) if intended for human consumption
• Keep records of the botanical origin and drying process to support the classification
