Import Tips
• Request IQF process documentation to confirm no additives, aligning with HTS frozen vegetable purity requirements
• Conduct residue testing for pesticides common in spinach; non-compliance leads to FDA refusals
• Use temperature-monitored containers to maintain -18°C chain, avoiding spoilage claims
