Import Tips
• Verify purity and absence of sucrose (>10%) via lab analysis to avoid reclassification to heading 1704
• Provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) confirming botanical origin and non-medicinal use for CBP clearance
• Avoid packaging as confectionery; declare as industrial extract to prevent duty shifts
