Import Tips

• Document country of origin; plantains from West Africa may need phytosanitary certificates beyond standard FDA

• Distinguish from sago/root flours (earlier 1106 subheadings) via botanical certificates confirming Musa spp

• Package in food-grade liners; moisture content over 13% risks mold claims and rejections
