Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure metal containers are airtight but not classified as 'canned' (typically under pressure/heat-processed); use entry docs to differentiate
• Test for pH and salt content to confirm saline preservation meets HTS criteria and FDA standards
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'canned' which shifts to higher-duty subheadings
