Import Tips
• Avoid therapeutic claims in labeling to prevent FDA drug classification; stick to food structure/function claims
• Source herb extracts documentation; pitfall is reclass to 0910 if herb extracts predominate over gelatin
• Ensure net weight per container under 250g to align with retail food prep definitions
