Import Tips
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'crude Lippia graveolens' to match HTS description and prevent reclassification
• Check for pesticide residues, as spices must meet FDA import standards; include lab analysis if requested
• Import in bulk bales over 2.3 kg to avoid container dutiability issues noted for tea but applicable analogously
