Import Tips
• Source from certified organic farms if claiming organic status, as cornmint often faces heavy metal testing
• Provide cooling certificates for menthol potency to support valuation and classification
• Avoid bulk shipments without proper segregation, as cornmint can cross-contaminate with other mints
