Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis confirming potato content exceeds 50% to distinguish from imitation snacks under other headings
• Label as 'potato chips' accurately; misleading terms like 'crisps' without potato basis could trigger reclassification
• Ensure packaging complies with FDA nutrition labeling for retail sale to avoid customs holds
