Import Tips

• Verify botanical classification as Capsicum annuum via supplier documentation to avoid misclassification as generic vegetables

• Ensure labels specify 'pimientos' and net weight; provide commercial invoice detailing preparation method (roasting, not vinegar)

• Watch for mixtures exceeding 50% other veggies, which shift to 2005.99.40; test for acetic acid residues
