Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'peeled frozen Chinese water chestnuts' with net weight and origin to facilitate HTS 0714.90.44.00 verification
• Obtain supplier affidavits confirming no additives or mixing; pitfalls include mislabeling as 'prepared' if blanching exceeds provisional preservation
• Ensure cold chain integrity during shipping with temperature logs to prevent thawing/re-freezing issues at entry
