Import Tips
• Conduct species verification via botanical certificates to confirm non-Allium cepa status during customs exam
• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits for alliaceous vegetables from quarantined regions
• Watch for pesticide residue limits; EU-sourced may need extra testing to meet US MRLs
