Import Tips
• Inspect for maturity to ensure 'fresh or chilled' status; overripe may be deemed unfit and reclassed
• Include fumigation certificates if required for origin country to meet import standards
• Separate from mixed vegetable shipments to prevent averaging into 'other vegetables' categories
