Import Tips
• Verify greenhouse certification through supplier documentation to confirm controlled environment production and avoid misclassification as field-grown
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates confirm freedom from pests like tomato spotted wilt virus, common in peppers
• Maintain cold chain below 10°C during transit to preserve 'fresh or chilled' status and prevent reclassification under dried provisions
