Premium Water Chestnut Medallions from Japan

Import Tips
• Check the sugar content of the light syrup; if it exceeds 20% Brix, it may be considered a sugar preparation under heading 2008
• Ensure the product is not frozen, as that would move it to Chapter 07
• Declare the cut style (medallions) accurately for CBSA documentation
