Import Tips
• Verify purity and origin certificates to confirm 100% caraway source, avoiding reclassification as blends under 3302
• Include GC-MS lab reports for chemical composition to prove it's an unmixed essential oil, not a distillate
• Label containers with botanical name (Carum carvi) and 'essential oil' to meet FDA and CBP documentation standards
