Import Tips
• Obtain varietal certificates if claiming 'sweet' status, as it doesn't alter HTS but aids quality claims
• Declare net weight accurately; over 0.9kg bulbs may trigger different statistical notes in related produce
• Watch for fumigation requirements at US ports for onion maggot prevention
