🌺 Exporting Hibiscus from West Africa
Dried sobolo calyces, whole or powdered, sold mostly as a herbal infusion. Pesticide residues decide access: the EU lists hibiscus under its own residue code, with a 0.01 mg/kg default for any substance without a set limit, and infusion ingredients also face plant-toxin limits.
