Import Tips
• Label packages with production date, net weight, and 'keep frozen' instructions to comply with FDA food labeling rules
• Conduct blast freezing verification to distinguish IQF from block-frozen, affecting potential reclassification
• Watch for moisture content; excessive added water could trigger 'not elsewhere specified' vegetable provisions
