Import Tips
• Provide commercial invoice detailing packing medium (e.g
• brine) and Brix value if sweetened to avoid reclassification
• Comply with USDA import requirements for canned vegetables; obtain phytosanitary certificates if from high-risk origins
• Avoid bulk packaging over retail sizes, as it may shift to lower-duty bulk provisions under 2005.80
