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
