Import Tips
• Ensure declaration specifies 'shelled' and preservation method; bulk imports may need additional phytosanitary certificates
• Comply with country of origin marking; generic 'Product of' labels can cause issues
• Avoid adding seasonings that mimic vinegar taste, as this risks reclassification to 2001
