Import Tips
• Ensure no peeling or slicing occurred before freezing to stay in fresh/frozen category; peeled items may go to Chapter 20
• Conduct starch content testing if challenged, as heading requires high starch or inulin content
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial processing, which could trigger reclassification
