Import Tips

• Verify phytosanitary certificates from origin to confirm pest-free status and compliance with USDA APHIS requirements for fresh produce

• Ensure proper cold chain documentation to prove chilled condition upon arrival, avoiding reclassification as unfit for import

• Label bunches clearly with country of origin and variety to prevent customs delays; watch for common misdeclaration as frozen (0710)
