Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain USDA organic certification documentation and verify compliance with General Statistical Note 6 standards before shipment
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming pest-free status, as zucchini is susceptible to quarantine pests like squash vine borers
• Avoid common pitfalls like improper temperature control during transit (maintain 7-10°C) to prevent chilling injury and rejection at entry
