Import Tips
• 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
