Import Tips
• Obtain lab analysis reports confirming alpha acid percentage and pellet composition to support 1210.20.00 classification
• Use vacuum-sealed packaging declarations to comply with storage stability requirements during import
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as machinery parts if used in hoppers; it's strictly botanical material
