Import Tips
• Characteristic pear/sausage shapes must remain intact for classification; slicing voids quota eligibility
• Provide smoking documentation if applicable - natural smoke permitted under chapter notes
• Test for mold inhibitors; permitted cultures OK but chemical preservatives trigger Chapter 21 reclassification
