Import Tips
• Verify seed purity and absence of contaminants via lab testing, as US FDA requires spices to meet food safety standards
• Provide Certificate of Origin and phytosanitary certificate to confirm compliance with agricultural import rules
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as ground coriander, which shifts to HTS 0909.22
