Import Tips
• 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
