Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming the drying process eliminates live pests, as required for dried plant materials
• Label products clearly as 'dried' to avoid misclassification as fresh foliage under 0604.91
• Check for bleaching agents used; if chemically bleached, ensure compliance with EPA import restrictions on treated plant matter
