Import Tips
• Provide detailed roast profiles and blend ratios in commercial invoices to confirm substitute status and prevent reclassification
• Check for pesticide residues in figs, as agricultural imports require phytosanitary certificates under USDA rules
• Label as 'coffee substitute containing coffee' to meet FDA standards and avoid impure tea-like prohibitions
