Import Tips

Include commercial invoice detailing pack size and 'retail packaged' to prevent bulk reclassification

Comply with FSMA rules for traceability; provide grower lot codes for potential recalls

Watch for trim levels; excessive trimming might trigger 'processed' scrutiny under customs rulings
