Import Tips

Use color and size photos in documentation to substantiate 'cherry' classification against larger slicing varieties

Maintain cold chain (chilled under 7°C) with temperature logs to prove 'fresh or chilled' status

Declare country of origin accurately; Mexican cherry tomatoes often face additional seasonal safeguards
