Import Tips
• 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'
