Import Tips
• Verify country of origin labeling as sweet corn is often subject to seasonal quotas or phytosanitary certificates from USDA
• Ensure product remains frozen below -18°C during transport to avoid reclassification as unfit for freezing preservation
• Provide commercial invoice detailing kernel size and variety to prevent misclassification as corn on the cob
