Import Tips

• Provide extraction method details (cold-pressed vs. solvent) to confirm it's not a Chapter 33 absolute

• Monitor for alcohol content; if over trace amounts, it risks Chapter 22 classification

• Use invoices specifying 'balsam resin' to differentiate from similar gums in 1301.90 other subs
