Import Tips
• Verify the product is exclusively nopal cactus (Opuntia spp.) to qualify as nopalitos; mislabeling as generic cactus leads to reclassification
• Provide lab analysis confirming preservation solely by vinegar or acetic acid, not vinegar-acetic mixtures exceeding note limits
• Label containers with net weight, ingredients, and country of origin to avoid FDA holds on preserved vegetables
