Import Tips & Compliance

Ensure no preservative treatments; only chilling allowed to stay in 0704—common pitfall leading to 0711 reclassification

Include detailed invoices specifying brassica variety and fresh/chilled state for CBP verification

Comply with USDA APHIS import permits for brassicas to prevent quarantine holds at ports
