Import Tips
• Ensure FDA prior notice and proper labeling for canned vegetables, including net weight and ingredients
• Verify country of origin documentation as water chestnuts are often from Asia; check for pesticide residue compliance
• Avoid misclassification by confirming slices are uniform and product is not homogenized or pureed
