Import Tips
• Verify vinegar or acetic acid is the primary preserving agent via lab analysis if challenged by customs
• Provide detailed ingredient lists and processing certificates to confirm classification away from fresh or oil-packed walnuts
• Watch for misclassification as mixtures if spices exceed minor quantities, potentially shifting to other headings
