Import Tips

• Verify greenhouse origin with supplier certificates or photos to confirm classification under 0709.60.4022, avoiding higher duties on field-grown peppers

• Ensure phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirm pest-free status and compliance with USDA APHIS import requirements for peppers

• Maintain cold chain (32-41°F) during transit to preserve freshness; temperature logs prevent rejection at entry for spoilage
