Import Tips
• Submit FDA Prior Notice for frozen berries due to pathogen risks; include lot codes for traceability
• Ensure slicing occurred post-freezing or minimally to stay in uncooked/frozen category; pre-slicing may trigger review
• Declare exact container capacity on entry docs; discrepancies lead to penalties or shifts to smaller pack HTS
