Import Tips
• Confirm the powder is made solely from lotus roots without added starches or flours, as mixtures may be classified under Chapter 11 or 21
• If the powder is marketed as a health supplement with specific dosage instructions, it may be classified as a medicament under Chapter 30
• Keep documentation of the manufacturing process to support the classification as a raw vegetable product
