Import Tips
• Verify the product is solely dried and ground garlic without additives to avoid reclassification as a mixture or prepared food
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to comply with FDA and USDA import regulations for spices
• Label accurately as 'garlic powder' and declare moisture content below 10% to confirm it fits dried vegetable criteria
