Import Tips
• 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
