Import Tips
• Ensure entry documentation specifies 'Chinese water chestnuts' to match the exact subheading nomenclature
• Conduct pH testing to confirm acetic acid preservation (typically pH <4.6) for both tariff and FDA safety compliance
• Avoid bulk packaging over retail sizes if marketed for home use, as it may trigger different valuation scrutiny
