Import Tips & Compliance

Verify varietal purity through supplier certificates to confirm white skin and flesh, avoiding misclassification as yellow onions

Ensure phytosanitary certificates from origin country address common pests like onion thrips, required for US entry

Monitor cold chain during transit to maintain 'fresh or chilled' status; frozen onions shift to Chapter 07 heading 0711
