Import Tips & Compliance

Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like cabbage loopers, required for all fresh produce imports

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

Label clearly as 'collards' with country of origin to prevent customs disputes over brassica identification
