Import Tips
• Include commercial invoices specifying exact russet variety to prevent classification as 'other' potatoes
• Comply with fumigation requirements if from quarantined areas to clear APHIS inspection
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial processing; use consumer packs for retail classification
