Import Tips
• Verify species identification and ensure packing medium is oil-based to confirm classification under 1604.19.32.00
• Provide commercial invoice detailing net weight, oil content, and airtight container specs for customs clearance
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'in tomato sauce' which shifts to 1604.19.41.00; check for Section 609 compliance if applicable
