Import Tips
• Provide USDA Organic or equivalent certification documentation to qualify for statistical reporting under organic provisions
• Conduct microbial testing for Salmonella/E.coli common in ground spices to meet FDA import alerts
• Avoid bulk packaging over declared net weight to prevent reclassification as wholesale rather than consumer spice
