Canned Couscous with Vegetables from Mexico
Canned couscous with diced vegetables in broth, pre-steamed and preserved. Couscous is classified as pasta under heading 19.02 when prepared beyond the basic processing of Chapter 10 or 11.

Import Tips
• Ensure the couscous is prepared beyond simple steaming, as this justifies classification under heading 19.02
