Import Tips
• Ensure supplier provides varietal certificates distinguishing grape from cherry to prevent disputes
• Comply with cold chain requirements during import to maintain 'chilled' status without freezing
• Avoid common pitfall of mixing with larger tomatoes in shipment, leading to average weight reclassification
