Import Tips
• Specify mesh size (e.g
• 80-100 mesh) in technical specs to justify fine milling without triggering parts classification
• Screen for metal fragments from milling equipment per FDA defect action levels for ground spices
• Declare as 'food grade ground cumin' to distinguish from industrial/oleoresin uses
