Import Tips
• Document crush particle size to differentiate from ground (still 0910.99.40.00) vs. parts (1211)
• FDA registration and prior notice mandatory; test for heavy metals common in spice imports
• Declare net weight accurately; small retail packs may trigger container duties unless from listed free territories
