Import Tips
• Verify botanical species to confirm not Chinese water chestnuts (Eleocharis dulcis) for correct 2005.99.41 classification
• Provide lab analysis or supplier certification showing no vinegar/acetic acid use and not frozen
• Label net weight and packing medium accurately to avoid reclassification to juice or soup products
