Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'onion sets for planting' to distinguish from edible onions and avoid reclassification
• Comply with state-specific quarantine rules; some US areas restrict imports due to white rot fungus risks
• Use refrigerated shipping to maintain chill status; warming may deem them unfit for HTS 0703 fresh/chilled
