Import Tips

• Test for sucrose levels (<10%) to avoid heading 1704; lab analysis reports are crucial for customs

• Label clearly as 'crude balsam' to differentiate from refined oleoresins potentially in Chapter 33

• Check for adulterants that could shift classification to tanning extracts under 3201
