Import Tips
• Include production process documentation confirming puree is frozen post-preparation, not dried or canned
• Label net weight and ingredients clearly; pitfall is confusion with garlic powder which goes to 0712
• Test for Brix if applicable, though not required here, to preempt questions on preparation method
