Import Tips
• Verify fermentation process documentation to confirm classification as 'miso and similar products' rather than plain bean paste
• Ensure labeling includes ingredient breakdown, as soy allergens require specific declarations on imports
• Check for moisture content to avoid reclassification under fresh or frozen vegetable provisions
