Import Tips
• Verify compliance with FDA food import regulations and provide Certificate of Analysis for purity, as impure tea is prohibited under 21 U.S.C. 41
• For packages under 2.3 kg net, immediate containers may be dutiable separately unless from duty-free origins like Canada or Mexico
• Label accurately as 'green tea powder' to avoid misclassification; test for fermentation levels if contested by customs
