Import Tips
• Ensure peppers are intact and free of stems or seeds to qualify as 'neither crushed nor ground'
• Include lab tests confirming absence of contaminants, as impure spices face strict FDA scrutiny
• Declare net weight accurately, excluding any non-duty-free wrappings over 2.3 kg package limits
