Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify preservation method is solely brine or sulfur dioxide to ensure suitability under heading 0711; cooking-ready products shift to Chapter 20
• Provide lab analysis confirming unsuitability for immediate consumption to avoid reclassification as prepared foods
• Label containers clearly with preservation details and declare as provisional to prevent customs holds
