Import Tips

Verify product is solely frozen Chinese water chestnuts (Eleocharis dulcis) without mixtures to match 0714.90.44.00 exactly; provide botanical certification if requested

Include commercial invoice detailing harvest, peeling, and freezing processes to prove high starch tuber status and prevent reclassification to general frozen vegetables

Check for pesticide residues compliant with FDA standards; common pitfall is inadequate phytosanitary certificates from origin countries like China or Vietnam
