Import Tips
• Obtain prior notice filing via FDA's system for acidified foods to avoid holds at port
• Document preservation process to prove vinegar/acetic acid method, preventing reclassification to general nut preparations
• Watch for moisture content; high water could mimic juice products but stays here if vinegar-preserved
