Import Tips
• Test for capsaicin levels if marketed as 'mild' to support classification away from hotter varieties
• Ensure boxes are labeled 'fresh chilled peppers - do not freeze' to maintain Chapter 07 status
• Watch for EU/USA import bans on certain pepper pests; fumigation certs often required
