Import Tips & Compliance

Provide evidence of pitting and stuffing process; nuts must be incidental to avoid nuts classification under Chapter 08

Label for allergens (almonds) per FDA rules and ensure saline solution meets preservation standards

Avoid pitfall of declaring as sets with nuts, which could trigger composite goods rules
