Import Tips
• Verify the Brussels sprouts are reduced in size (e.g
• chopped or diced) prior to freezing to confirm classification under 0710.80.85.00
• Provide documentation proving no cooking beyond steaming/boiling and suitability only for further processing, not immediate consumption
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no added preservatives beyond freezing, as that could shift to heading 0711
