Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'yellow onions, not sweet' to match HTS description and avoid customs disputes
• Monitor moisture levels to ensure onions remain fresh, as excessive drying could trigger reclassification
• Comply with country-of-origin marking on bulk packaging for retail distribution
