Import Tips
• Ensure flakes are uniformly dried and not minced to a powder to stay in 0712; test for particle size if needed
• Comply with FDA prior notice requirements for bulk dried vegetables to expedite customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'granulated' which may trigger reclassification to spice powders
