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
