Honey from certain origins has been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, and transshipment through third countries to evade those orders is a documented enforcement concern. US Customs and Border Protection and FDA both scrutinize honey shipments for origin fraud and adulteration, so importers should obtain detailed supplier documentation and consider independent laboratory testing.
