Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure commercial invoice specifies 'tomato-based sauce preparation' and net weight to prevent customs misclassification

• Comply with FDA prior notice for tomato products; test for additives exceeding 20% meat/fish to avoid Chapter 16

• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready small jars qualify here, bulk moves to higher container subheadings
