• Declare it at US entry as a packaged food/supplement — commercially sealed extract is admissible, fresh ginseng root is not
• Some countries (Australia, parts of Middle East) restrict ginseng imports — check your onward destination
• Buy sealed retail boxes with receipts; duty-free versions are sometimes export-only packaging at similar or better prices
• Watch for fakes in tourist markets — buy only from official CKJ roadshops or major marts
