Import Tips
• Distinguish from Napa cabbage (0704.10.20) by leaf structure in customs declarations to prevent subheading errors
• Require import permits for Asian brassicas due to potential pest risks like diamondback moth
• Bundle securely; loose leaves can lead to damage claims and valuation disputes
