Import Tips
• Document the drying process and canning method to prove compliance with 'canned dried' criteria
• Inspect for any added preservatives that mimic vinegar, risking reclassification to heading 2001
• Use proper HTS declaration for retail vs. industrial packs to avoid quota or licensing issues
