Import Tips
• Document greenhouse production with grower certificates to support 'greenhouse' classification
• Label packages clearly as 'fresh/chilled cucumbers' to prevent confusion with preserved goods
• Monitor for residue limits on pesticides, as greenhouse produce often faces stricter inspections
