Import Tips
• Confirm plates are 'simply cut to rectangular shape' per Chapter Note 8; profiled edges shift to 4008
• Include botanical source documentation (e.g
• Manilkara bidentata) for CBP verification against synthetic mimics
• Avoid plasticizers; even small amounts disqualify primary form status
