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
