Organic Yerba Mate Leaves from Mexico
Certified organic Ilex paraguariensis leaves, free from pesticides, dried for chimarrão preparation. Falls squarely under HTS 0903.00.00.00 for maté; statistical notes reference organic standards but do not alter classification. Puerto Rico duty exceptions apply only to certain teas, not maté.

Import Tips
• Attach organic certificate per GSN 6; uncertified 'organic' labels lead to redelivery and fines
• Phytosanitary certificate mandatory from origin; Brazil/Argentina exporters often pre-attach
• Weigh samples post-moisture adjustment; duties based on net dry leaf weight
