Import Tips

Include commercial invoice detailing harvest date, entry date, and air carrier to substantiate seasonal and transport qualifications

Label bundles clearly with country of origin and 'keep refrigerated' to maintain fresh/chilled status through customs

Watch for reclassification if asparagus shows dehydration signs, potentially moving to dried vegetable headings
