Import Tips
• Ensure packaging specifies portion size and solubility to distinguish from freeze-dried retail packs
• Submit lab tests confirming no artificial flavors or additives to maintain 'not flavored' status
• Check for quantitative restrictions if blended, though pure decaf instant avoids Chapter 21 limits
