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
