Import Tips
• Verify origin certificate confirming anise source (e.g
• star anise or Pimpinella anisum) to match HTS 3301.29.51.03 subheading
• Provide GC-MS lab analysis if purity questioned, as customs may test for synthetic aromatics excluded from this heading
• Avoid retail packaging over 50ml without retail set declaration to prevent reclassification under Chapter 33 notes
