Import Tips
• Obtain certificate of analysis proving cereal base (no fruit content > trace levels) for smooth clearance
• Ensure tin seals meet airtight standards; test for vacuum or nitrogen flush to avoid disputes
• Comply with country-of-origin marking on tins, as cereal processing often spans multiple nations
