Import Tips
• Although the ravioli contains lobster, it is not considered 'meat' for tariff purposes, so it qualifies for this item; however, if the seafood content exceeds 20% by weight, Chapter 16 may apply
• Verify the exact seafood percentage and keep the product frozen during importation
• Ensure the ravioli is not coated with chocolate or cocoa preparations, which would shift classification
