Import Tips

Obtain organic certification if claimed, referencing General Statistical Note 6 for approved standards to qualify for potential preferences

Declare exact soluble content; high solubility may risk classification as a Chapter 21 extract

Avoid bulk packaging over 2.3kg if mimicking tea rules, though coffee substitutes are exempt from those container duties
