Import Tips
• Include processing details like smoking method in documentation to confirm it's still pure ground Capsicum
• Ensure labeling distinguishes it from hotter varieties to prevent misclassification as cayenne
• Test for fumigation residues, as smoked spices often undergo treatments during export
