Import Tips
• Check for island-specific phytosanitary protocols; some origins require cold treatment for fruit fly quarantine
• Declare country of origin clearly, as certain Pacific producers may qualify for preferential tariff treatments
• Inspect for ripeness at entry; overripe fruit risks reclassification away from fresh vegetable status
