Import Tips
• Verify botanical origin as Pimenta dioica via supplier certificates to confirm genus classification and avoid reclassification to Piper genus
• Ensure product is free of contaminants; CBP inspections are common for spices—provide lab tests for purity and absence of prohibited impurities
• Label packages clearly with 'dried whole allspice' and net weight; mislabeling as ground can lead to duty reassessment
