Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide certificate of origin and GC-MS analysis confirming garlic source and purity to avoid reclassification as a mixture
• Ensure packaging meets retail sale requirements if under 3301; bulk shipments may shift to extracted oleoresins
• Declare exact concentration of sulfur compounds like allicin, as mislabeling can trigger FDA scrutiny for food-grade claims
