Import Tips
• Verify the spinach is solely dried and not further prepared like seasoned or oiled to avoid misclassification under other headings
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to comply with FDA and USDA import regulations for dried vegetables
• Check for moisture content limits as excessive moisture could reclassify it under fresh or provisionally preserved vegetables
