Import Tips

• Provide GC-MS analysis confirming trans-anethole content >90% to establish as chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 scope

• Label as 'odoriferous/flavoring compound' on commercial invoice to support 2909 classification over potential food additive headings

• Check for stabilizer additions; ensure they qualify under Chapter 29 note (f) for preservation without changing general use classification
