Import Tips
• Verify botanical identification as ancho (dried poblano) pepper to confirm HTS 0904.22.40.00 classification; provide certificates of origin and lab analysis if disputed
• Ensure product is free of pepper shells or impurities, as importation of prohibited pepper shells is banned under chapter notes
• Label packages clearly with 'ground ancho pepper' and net weight; avoid retail packaging under 2.3kg if claiming special container exemptions
