Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming freshness and freedom from pests, as required for fresh vegetables
• Label clearly as 'fresh or chilled' to avoid misclassification into dried (07.12) or frozen (07.14) categories
• Monitor seasonal quotas if applicable; common pitfall is inadequate cooling documentation leading to spoilage claims
