Import Tips
• Use variety-specific invoices to distinguish heirlooms from hybrids, aiding customs verification
• Ensure cold chain integrity for chilled status; temperature logs prevent downgrade to 'wilted' produce
• Beware of overripe imports; customs may reject or reclassify if not suitable for immediate consumption
