Import Tips
• Verify the mixture contains Chinese water chestnuts as the predominant ingredient per HTS notes to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of freeze-processing and origin to confirm compliance with Chapter 7 preservation rules
• Watch for phytosanitary certificates; common pitfall is inadequate pest treatment documentation for tubers
