Import Tips & Compliance
• Include ISO 3632 quality certification (color, aroma, bitterness metrics) to demonstrate compliance and avoid reclassification as impure
• Label precisely as 'saffron' without adulterants; US notes prohibit impure spice imports akin to tea standards
• For retail packs under 2.3 kg, check if containers qualify for free duty from origins like Spain via intermediate container rules
