Import Tips
• Specify 'baby' or new potato status in descriptions, as size doesn't change HTS but aids marketing
• Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs to prove chilled but not frozen status
• Comply with country-specific origin declarations for potential preferential tariff treatments
