Import Tips
• Provide processing records confirming vinegar pickling process to distinguish from fresh peppers (0709.60)
• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits if from certain origins due to pest risks in peppers
• Avoid pitfall of classifying as pimientos (2001.90.39.00) if color or variety differs
