Import Tips
• Verify spice purity and obtain Certificates of Analysis to comply with FDA food safety standards and avoid rejection for contaminants
• Label packages with country of origin and botanical name (Trigonella foenum-graecum) for accurate classification under 'other spices'
• Check for pesticide residue limits as spices often face enhanced scrutiny; common pitfall is misdeclaring as a different spice like cumin
