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
