Import Tips & Compliance

Document the exact preservation method (brine/sulfur water) and confirm suitability only for storage/transport per heading 0812 note

Test for immediate consumption viability; if edible as-is, it risks reclassification to Chapter 20 prepared fruits

Use bulk shipping containers to emphasize provisional nature, avoiding consumer-ready packaging
