Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain (32-40°F) and include processing date; excessive handling may trigger food safety audits
• Label as 'fresh-cut jicama' with expiration date to confirm suitability for immediate consumption
• Avoid any preservative coatings, as they could classify under prepared vegetables in Chapter 20
