Import Tips & Compliance

• Measure individual tomato weight to confirm under 0.9 kg for round types per statistical notes; oversized may need different breakout

• Ensure cold chain documentation for 'chilled' status, maintaining temperature logs to avoid spoilage claims at entry

• Avoid any sulfur treatments, as provisional preservation shifts to heading 0711
