Import Tips
• Verify ingredient list complies with FDA labeling for allergens like nuts and ensure shelf-life documentation for perishable baked goods
• Obtain certificates of origin if claiming preferential tariffs; common pitfall is misclassifying as a cookie leading to wrong duty
• Use proper packaging to prevent breakage during shipping; include commercial invoice detailing weight and value accurately
