Import Tips

• Obtain USDA APHIS phytosanitary certificate confirming pest-free status and greenhouse origin to comply with fresh vegetable import rules

• Label clearly as 'yellow sweet bell peppers, greenhouse-grown' with country of origin and ensure cold chain maintenance below 10°C to prevent spoilage

• Verify not 'of a kind for processing' (e.g

• no intent for freezing/pickling) to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is bulk shipments mistaken for industrial use
