Import Tips
• Verify organic certification matches USDA or equivalent approved standards listed in General Statistical Note 6 to avoid reclassification
• Ensure immediate containers under 3kg net weight; larger packs shift to other subheadings with different duties
• Include FDA prior notice and purity testing documentation, as impure tea imports are prohibited under 21 U.S.C. 41
