Import Tips
• Use refrigerated containers with temperature logs to maintain quality; spoilage claims are common pitfalls without proper chilling
• Include detailed invoices specifying color (yellow), type (sweet bell), and greenhouse origin to match HTS criteria precisely
• Check for organic certification if claimed (per General Statistical Note 6) and provide residue testing for pesticides
