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
