Import Tips
• Specify 'on stalk' in descriptions; trimmed sprouts may qualify for separate statistical notes if applicable
• Maintain 0-4°C chill; temperature logs prevent rejection for warming during transit
• Avoid plastic bags; use breathable crates to prevent ethylene buildup from over-ripening
