Import Tips
• Label accurately as 'dried spinach flakes' without additives to stay in this classification; any flavorings shift it elsewhere
• Ensure compliance with FDA food labeling for nutritional content and allergen declarations during customs clearance
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics provisional preservation, which could lead to reclassification under 0711
