Import Tips
• Verify packaging is truly airtight (e.g
• sealed metal or glass) to qualify under this subheading; loose packaging shifts to other 1904 codes
• Include lab analysis confirming absence of apricots, citrus, peaches, or pears to avoid reclassification
• Label with full ingredient list and nutritional facts per FDA rules to prevent customs holds
