Import Tips
• Disclose all flavorings and additives in documentation, as FDA may test for unauthorized substances triggering refusals
• Use HTSUS statistical suffixes accurately (e.g
• .70 for 'other') to match reporting requirements
• Prepare for random CBP exams on unit valuation; bundle pricing can lead to disputes if not per-unit certified
