Frozen Blanched Broccoli Cuts from Canada
Broccoli briefly blanched in boiling water then frozen in reduced-size cuts for retail bags. This aligns with HTS 0710.80.97.26 for other frozen broccoli reduced in size, cooked by boiling. Blanching deactivates enzymes for better preservation.

Import Tips
• Retain blanching process records to prove minimal cooking, avoiding shift to prepared foods
• Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs to prevent spoilage claims at entry
• Declare as 'reduced in size' explicitly if cuts are under statistical thresholds
