Import Tips
• Document sun-drying process to confirm preservation method complies with 'otherwise than by vinegar' criterion
• Ensure particle size analysis shows true powder form, not granules, to prevent shift to 2002.90 other subheadings
• Check for aflatoxin levels common in sun-dried products for FDA import alerts
