Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming no acetic acid content above trace levels to prevent reclassification to 2001
• Ensure jar lids meet child-safety standards if marketed for retail; declare glass packaging separately if applicable
• Monitor for pesticide residues as mushrooms are prone to contamination—provide certificates of analysis
