Import Tips
• Verify the product is purely ground Capsicum fruits without shells or additives, as pepper shells are prohibited under US notes
• Provide lab analysis or certificate of origin confirming Capsicum genus to avoid misclassification as black pepper (0904.11)
• Ensure packaging complies with FDA food labeling for spices; bulk imports over 2.3kg avoid container duties
