Import Tips
• Declare flavoring components accurately; ensure bergamot oil is also certified organic to maintain status
• Use immediate containers from duty-free origins like Canada if under 2.3 kg to potentially enter free
• Label net weight clearly per package to confirm eligibility under the 3 kg tea bag subheading
