Import Tips
• Confirm Scoville heat units via testing to distinguish from milder Capsicum varieties and prevent reclassification
• Use phytosanitary certificates to prove freedom from pests, as agricultural products face strict USDA scrutiny
• Avoid retail packaging under 2.3kg if containers are dutiable; opt for bulk to simplify duty calculation
