Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries to meet USDA APHIS requirements for fresh produce
• Ensure heads are truly 'not reduced in size' – any pre-cutting voids this classification
• Label clearly as 'fresh cauliflower' to avoid misclassification as processed vegetables
