Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates from origin to confirm freedom from pests like diamondback moth, common for brassicas
• Maintain cold chain (0-4°C) during transit to preserve freshness, as chilling is allowed but not freezing
• Avoid misclassification as heading 0704.90.60 if treated with preservatives like sulfur dioxide for storage
