Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh chilled butternut squash' to distinguish from pumpkins; include varietal names in invoices

• Comply with USDA APHIS import requirements for cucurbits, including inspection for squash vine borer quarantine pests

• Monitor weight and condition to ensure not dehydrated, which could lead to reclassification under dried vegetables
