Import Tips
• Include color maturity certificates as yellow peppers may face scrutiny on ripeness vs. field equivalents
• Comply with maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides common in greenhouse cultivation like imidacloprid
• Declare exact greenhouse origin to leverage potential preferential tariffs under trade agreements
