Import Tips

• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming pest-free status and origin to meet USDA APHIS requirements for fresh brassicas

• Maintain cold chain documentation showing temperatures below 7°C to qualify as 'chilled' and prevent spoilage claims

• Label clearly as 'bok choy' to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is confusing with kale or collards
