Import Tips
• Confirm botanical classification as sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) vs. true potato to avoid Chapter 07 confusion
• Use IQF (individually quick frozen) documentation to prove minimal processing
• Watch for moisture content; excess could imply blanching, shifting to preserved vegetables
