Import Tips
• Provide variety-specific labels (e.g
• 'Jalapeño') and scoville heat unit declarations if required by importing country food safety regs
• Avoid co-mingling with dried peppers to prevent chapter note exclusion under heading 0904
• Use ventilated packaging to prevent condensation and ensure they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption if provisionally preserved
