If ground, powdered, or pelleted
Processing beyond whole cones (e.g., milling into powder or compressing into pellets) shifts to lupulin or processed forms.
If sold as herbal remedy or extract base
Hop cones used for medicinal purposes (e.g., sleep aids) may classify under plants used in pharmacy rather than raw agricultural product.
If hop waste or spent cones post-brewing
Residues after extraction for brewing or other uses fall under animal feed preparations, not raw cones.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cones are whole and unprocessed (no grinding/pelleting) via supplier certification to avoid reclassification
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like hop aphids, common in EU/US imports
• Declare accurate moisture content (<10% typical for dried hops) to prevent customs disputes on 'fresh vs dried'
