Import Tips
• Ensure the drying process does not involve oil or fat, which could shift classification to heading 2008.99 or chapter 12
• Verify the sugar coating is not a confectionery glaze, as sugar-coated almonds or similar confections fall under heading 17.04
• Keep moisture content below 20% to confirm the product is dried rather than fresh
