Import Tips
• Verify variety through supplier certificates or visual inspection to confirm Anaheim classification, as misidentification can lead to reclassification
• Ensure produce is fresh or chilled (not frozen or dried) and provide phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA import requirements
• Avoid common pitfalls like exceeding cold chain temperature limits during transit, which could trigger provisional preservation rules under heading 0711
