Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'sauce preparation' with tomato base; avoid generic 'tomato sauce' to prevent confusion with Chapter 20
• Provide certificates of analysis showing seasoning levels to distinguish from plain tomato products
• Check for additives like cheese that might push over 20% meat/dairy threshold, shifting to Chapter 16
