Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain with temperature logs below 4°C to prove chilled status and prevent rejection
• Label clearly as 'butterhead' variety with scientific name (Lactuca sativa) for customs verification
• Watch for reclassification if mixed with other lettuces; import pure lots to avoid blending issues
