Import Tips
• Submit certificates of analysis proving matcha tea basis to differentiate from general syrups or spice mixes
• Package in containers suitable for retail to align with blended syrup definitions; bulk may shift classification
• Beware of misdeclaration as 1702 product, which has different MFN rates and potential quotas
