Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming no drying process (moisture content > certain threshold) to avoid 0305.31 classification
• Customs may require proof of 'immediate container' integrity; use vacuum-sealed tins to minimize brine leakage issues
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain origins; declare exact HTS early
