Import Tips
• Document drying/preservation method to confirm it meets 'dried or crushed' criteria without processing into Chapter 21
• Test for moisture content, as high levels in ground green pepper can trigger perishables scrutiny
• Label botanical name (Piper nigrum) clearly to avoid confusion with prohibited cubeb (Chapter note exclusion)
