Import Tips
• Verify product meets 'waffle' definition by confirming leavened batter griddle-cooked structure; provide baking process documentation to avoid reclassification as biscuits
• Include detailed ingredient lists and nutritional labeling compliant with FDA standards; common pitfall is undeclared allergens like wheat or dairy
• For frozen waffles, ensure proper cold chain documentation to prevent spoilage claims during customs inspection
