Import Tips
• Require fumigation certificates if shipping from Asia to prevent brassica-specific pests like diamondback moth
• Separate from other produce to avoid cross-contamination odors during chilled transport
• Monitor moisture levels; excess humidity leads to rot, potentially causing rejection at port
