Import Tips
• Document brine composition and concentration to prove provisional status; residue testing may be required by FDA
• Ensure packaging prevents spoilage but confirms unsuitability for eating; label clearly as 'not for immediate consumption'
• Check for seasonal quotas or APHIS permits if from restricted origins like certain EU countries
