Vinegar-Preserved Capers in Drums from Japan
Vinegar-preserved capers stored in food-grade plastic drums for short-term preservation during shipping. The acidic treatment keeps them viable for later processing but makes them too acidic for immediate consumption, fitting the provisional preservation criteria of heading 07.11.

Import Tips
• Ensure the vinegar solution is solely for preservation and the capers remain unsuitable for immediate consumption; otherwise, classification may shift
• Declare the net weight including the brine, as duties are calculated on the total package weight for this heading
• Keep records of the preservation method to support your tariff classification if questioned by the CBSA
