Import Tips
• Conduct pre-shipment inspections to confirm round shape and weight under 0.9 kg per statistical note
• Use refrigerated containers to maintain chilled status; temperature logs prevent reclassification as room temperature
• Declare country of origin accurately, as certain tomato origins require additional fumigation certificates
