Import Tips
• Ensure slices are uniformly dried without additives to stay in 0712; any oil or seasoning reclassifies to 2003
• Declare net weight accurately, excluding packaging, and include lab tests for contaminants like heavy metals
• Check for FDA prior notice requirements as a food import to avoid holds at port
