Import Tips
• Provide processing certificates showing spray-drying or freeze-drying to confirm instant solubility
• Label as 'instant tea' on commercial invoices to prevent confusion with loose green tea in 0902
• Monitor for pesticide residues common in tea imports; FDA detention risks high without clean reports
