Import Tips
• Require extraction method documentation proving it's lupulin from hops, not a synthetic or blended extract
• Declare purity levels (>95% lupulin) to differentiate from general hop powder and ensure correct duty
• Beware of FDA food additive registration if used beyond traditional brewing
