Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh cucumbers' with origin and variety to prevent misclassification as gherkins
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 7°C) to prove chilled status and avoid spoilage claims at entry
• Check for APHIS import permits if from quarantined regions to dodge delays or rejections
