Import Tips
• Confirm protein content under 70% soy to stay out of 2104.10; test certificates prevent reclass to lower-duty headings
• Include allergen declarations (e.g
• soy traces) on labels; pitfall is entry without FDA prior notice causing delays
• For bulk imports, specify not for retail to avoid 2106.90.48 mixed seasoning scrutiny
