Import Tips

Confirm botanical identity via lab testing since cubeb resembles black pepper; misclassification as pepper shells is prohibited

Provide supplier affidavits on processing (dried berries only) to distinguish from mixtures under 0910.91

Avoid bulk packaging over 2.3kg if combined with tea elements, as container duties may apply separately
