Import Tips

• Verify purity and absence of sugars to avoid reclassification under heading 1704 if sucrose exceeds 10%

• Provide certificates of analysis confirming vegetable origin and non-medicinal use for smooth customs clearance

• Label clearly as 'food-grade' or 'industrial' to prevent confusion with essential oils in Chapter 33
