Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'white pearl onions' to distinguish from cocktail onions which may be preserved
• Inspect for uniform white color; off-white or blemished bulbs risk downgrade to general vegetable provisions
• Use ventilated crates for transport to prevent moisture buildup, preserving chilled status
