Import Tips
• Declare exact preparation method on entry docs; 'cuts and pieces' must still be primarily asparagus to stay in 2005.60
• Test for acetic acid content (<0.5%) to prevent CBP reclassification to vinegar-preserved under 2001
• Use FDA-approved can linings to avoid lead solder issues common in some foreign canning
