Import Tips
• Test for carbonation or effervescence to confirm not sparkling; sparkling exceeds 3 bars pressure
• Provide supplier affidavits on almond origin to address potential phytosanitary concerns
• Avoid reclassification by ensuring no vinegar content (standard 4% acetic acid would shift to 2209)
