Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly with organic certification details and HTS code to prevent misclassification during customs inspection
• Avoid any sulfur dioxide or brine treatments, as these would make them unsuitable for immediate consumption and shift to heading 0711
• Monitor harvest dates to ensure peppers remain fresh/chilled and not dried, which could exclude them from Chapter 7 per chapter notes
