Import Tips
• Verify botanical identity as Cola spp. via certificates of origin to confirm kola nut classification
• Inspect for freshness; dried nuts remain classified here but spoiled ones may require phytosanitary rejection
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as shelled; in-shell means intact husk covering the nut
