Import Tips

• Verify purity to comply with 21 U.S.C. 41 prohibiting impure maté imports, except under Chapter 98; provide lab certificates if challenged

• For packages under 2.3 kg net, immediate containers from Australia, Canada, etc

• enter duty-free even if not empty—document origin accurately

• Label as 'maté' or 'yerba maté' per FDA food standards; mislabeling as tea risks reclassification and penalties
