Import Tips
• Provide detailed organic farm origin docs; cross-check against GSN 6 for approved certifiers to avoid reclassification
• Temperature-controlled shipping below 10°C to maintain 'fresh or chilled' status and prevent spoilage claims
• Label clearly as 'acorn squash' to match statistical notes; watch for weight declarations if over 0.9kg per unit
