Import Tips
• Label containers clearly with net weight and 'fresh potatoes' to avoid misclassification as new or preserved
• Ensure cold chain maintenance below 10°C to prevent sprouting, which could trigger quarantine issues
• Declare country of origin accurately; EU potatoes may face additional pest restrictions
