Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly with entry date and air transport proof to avoid reclassification to higher-duty periods
• Comply with FDA prior notice requirements for fresh produce; test for pesticide residues common in asparagus
• Bundle in ventilated crates to prevent chilling injury, as improper packing leads to rejection at ports
