Import Tips

Verify phytosanitary certificates from origin to confirm freedom from pests like cabbage loopers, as required for brassica imports

Maintain cold chain documentation showing temperatures below 7°C to qualify as 'chilled' and avoid reclassification

Avoid common pitfalls like residue from prohibited pesticides; test for compliance with EPA tolerances before shipment
