Import Tips
• Verify supplier certificates confirming blanching process complies with 'cooked by steaming or boiling' per HTS notes to avoid reclassification
• Include FDA prior notice and ensure phytosanitary certificates for spinach to prevent pest-related detentions at US ports
• Label packages clearly with country of origin and 'keep frozen' instructions to meet retail import standards
