Import Tips
• Document drain weight vs. total weight on invoices for accurate duty assessment on edible content
• Ensure no fermentation has occurred, as alcoholic content >0.5% would shift to Chapter 22 per notes
• Test for allergens if cross-contaminated during harvest; declare on labels per FDA rules
