Import Tips
• Verify origin certification to confirm coconut shell source, as misclassification to other charcoal types can lead to penalties
• Provide lab analysis showing carbonization process and absence of chemical additives exceeding natural levels
• Ensure packaging labels specify 'shell charcoal' to avoid reclassification during customs inspection
