Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'flavored green tea' with ingredient list to avoid misclassification as unflavored
• Test for purity; impure tea prohibited under 21 U.S.C. 41—retain third-party lab certificates
• Check container materials; immediate wrappings <2.3kg may be dutiable separately unless from exempt countries
