Import Tips
• Ensure brine solution pH remains above 4.6 to distinguish from acidified products that might classify elsewhere
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'bamboo shoots only' to prevent mixture reclassification
• Obtain Certificate of Analysis confirming no acetic acid content for smooth customs clearance
