Organic Canned Water Chestnuts from China
Organic canned water chestnuts are whole, peeled, and packed in spring water, preserved by heat sterilization without chemicals or vinegar. They fall under tariff item 2005.99.90 as other prepared vegetables, as the organic certification does not affect classification.

Import Tips
• Have organic certification documentation ready for CBSA inspection, though it does not change tariff classification
• Verify the water chestnuts are not Chinese variety, as that may require a different subheading
• Ensure no vinegar or acetic acid is used in the packing medium
