Import Tips

Verify phytosanitary certificates from origin to confirm pest-free status and compliance with USDA APHIS import requirements for fresh produce

Ensure proper temperature control during shipping (below 7°C) to maintain 'fresh or chilled' status and avoid reclassification as other products

Label accurately with country of origin and varietal name to prevent customs disputes on 'grey' squash classification
