Import Tips
• Include detailed ingredient lists and nutritional panels on labels; sauces may require additional FDA prior notice if over 2% dairy
• Confirm cooking validation records to prove 'fully cooked' status, preventing reclassification to higher-duty uncooked categories
• Avoid pitfalls by ensuring cans meet ASTM standards for airtight seals, as leaks can lead to full shipment detention
