Import Tips
• Declare caper size grade (e.g
• non-pareil) and preservation method explicitly to match tariff description
• Use food-grade containers; fumigation certificates may be required for wooden pallets in bulk shipments
• Avoid blending with fruits, as mixtures could classify under 2008.99 or 2009 if juiced
