Import Tips
• Confirm varietal is sweet bell-type Capsicum annuum via supplier specs; hot varieties may shift to other subheadings
• Use clear packaging labeling color and origin to prevent CBP confusion with hotter red peppers
• Monitor maturity stage at harvest; overripe peppers risk decomposition claims at entry
