Import Tips
• Specify grind size and purity (100% peel) on packing lists to prevent confusion with spice mixtures under Chapter 09
• Obtain organic certification if claimed, as citrus peels often carry residue; FDA prior notice is mandatory for food powders
• Avoid bulk packaging over retail sizes if marketed for dietetic use, which could trigger infant food notes in other subheadings
