Import Tips
• Submit nutritional analysis proving 'no salt added' to support labeling claims during FDA review
• Check for aflatoxin testing especially from high-risk origins like China to avoid import alerts
• Declare accurate Brix and pH values; low-acid tomatoes may require additional canning process validation
