Import Tips
• Verify net weight per container is ≤250g and confirm homogenization via lab testing to qualify under 2007.10 precedence
• Provide infant food certification and nutritional labeling compliant with FDA import requirements to avoid holds
• Check for small added ingredients (e.g
• vitamin C); ensure they don't exceed 'small quantities' to prevent reclassification
