Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'tomato paste' and include nutritional panel confirming no added salt or vinegar
• Use ISF filing 24 hours prior for food imports; declare as 'other tomato paste' to match hierarchy
• Avoid reclassification by ensuring no dry weight ≥7% which would invoke chapter note for 2002 juice
