Import Tips
• Include botanical certification confirming Opuntia species to prevent disputes over 'nopalitos' specificity
• Ensure pH levels indicate proper acetic preservation (typically <4.6) to meet FDA low-acid canned food standards
• Avoid bulk packaging over 5kg; retail packs reduce scrutiny but require accurate net quantity declarations
