Import Tips

• Include certificates confirming sulfur dioxide levels are for provisional use only, not exceeding temporary preservation thresholds

• Label shipments clearly as 'provisionally preserved gherkins - unsuitable for immediate consumption' to prevent customs misclassification

• Avoid common error of shipping in consumer-ready packaging, which could lead to reclassification under prepared vegetables headings
