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
