Import Tips
• Verify packaging meets retail sale criteria (typically under 5kg per unit) to avoid reclassification as bulk honey under 0409.00.0040
• Provide certificate of origin and pollen analysis to confirm natural honey status and avoid adulteration disputes
• Check FDA prior notice requirements and ensure labeling includes floral source and 'comb honey' declaration
