Import Tips
• Verify origin certificates as jojoba is primarily from Israel, Mexico, or USA to qualify for preferential tariffs
• Ensure COA (Certificate of Analysis) confirms no chemical modification to avoid reclassification under Chapter 38
• Label as 'jojoba oil' per FDA cosmetic regulations; test for purity to prevent customs holds
