Import Tips
• Ensure compliance with FDA prior notice requirements filed at least 2 hours before arrival for perishable vegetables
• Use ventilated crates to prevent condensation and spoilage, as improper packaging leads to customs holds
• Check for varietal-specific quotas or seasonal restrictions from major exporters like Mexico or Netherlands
