Import Tips
• Conduct fiber analysis to confirm no Camellia sinensis content, as even small amounts trigger Chapter 9 classification
• Include Certificates of Analysis (COA) showing purity from contaminants for smooth FDA entry
• Package for retail sale only; bulk shipments may be scrutinized as 1211 plants rather than prepared teas
