Import Tips
• Conduct lab tests to confirm no further preparation like salting; otherwise, shifts to Chapter 20
• Comply with FDA prior notice requirements for food imports and ensure HACCP plans for potential contaminants
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion—declare as 'whole dried' not sliced if intact to match statistical notes
