Import Tips

• Verify container net weight is under 1.4 kg per unit and provide lab analysis confirming dry weight under 7% to avoid reclassification to heading 2002 tomato juice

• Include FDA prior notice and ensure labeling lists ingredients, nutritional info, and country of origin for processed tomato products

• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as sauce (2002.90.40) which has different duties; use commercial invoice specifying 'tomato paste'
