Import Tips
• Verify botanical origin as Pimenta dioica to confirm classification under 0904.22; test for Capsicum contamination
• Include certificate of analysis showing no impurities, as impure spices may face rejection per US regulations
• Label net weight accurately; packages under 2.3kg may have container duties unless from duty-free origins like Canada
