Import Tips
• Confirm that washing and trimming do not constitute further preparation, as this could affect classification under Chapter 07
• Ensure the product is kept chilled throughout the supply chain to meet the 'fresh or chilled' requirement
• Include a clear product description on customs documents to distinguish it from processed vegetable products
