Import Tips

Verify certificate of analysis confirming ≥50% tannic acid content to meet HTS 3201.90.10.00 criteria and avoid reclassification as pure chemicals

Ensure supplier documentation traces vegetable origin (e.g

gallotannins from plants) to comply with chapter exclusions for synthetic compounds

Label clearly as 'tannic acid' with purity percentage; common pitfall is insufficient documentation leading to higher duties under Chapter 29
