Import Tips
• Include variety declaration in commercial invoice; heirlooms may face scrutiny for GMO status or origin certification
• Use ventilated packaging to prevent condensation and ensure they remain 'fresh/chilled' not overripe
• Check for organic certification if claimed, referencing General Statistical Note 6 standards
