Import Tips
• Include botanical confirmation in documentation, as kohlrabi's bulbous stem can be mistaken for root vegetables (07.07)
• Weigh accurately post-harvest; common pitfall is shrinkage during chill transport affecting declared value
• Use ventilated packaging to maintain freshness and avoid condensation-related mold issues at inspection
