Import Tips
• Declare exact drying method (air-dried vs freeze-dried) as freeze-drying may trigger Chapter 20 review
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'unsweetened, whole dried fruit' to prevent sugar-added misclassification
• Check for aflatoxin levels, common in dried berries, with COA from accredited labs
