Import Tips
• 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
