Import Tips
• Verify cooking process documentation to confirm heat treatment under atmospheric or reduced pressure as per chapter notes
• Ensure labeling includes ingredients and net weight; common pitfall is misclassifying uncooked purees
• Obtain FDA prior notice for food safety compliance before import
