Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with varietal name and 'dried' status to prevent reclassification as fresh under 0713.33
• Avoid preservative treatments like sulfuring, as that would move to 0711 for provisionally preserved vegetables
• Conduct moisture testing upon arrival to confirm compliance and avoid duties on incompletely dried goods
