Import Tips
• Ensure IQF (individually quick frozen) processing if declared, as block-frozen may face different handling
• Comply with USDA APHIS rules for tomato imports, including pest-free certifications
• Budget for potential cold treatment inspections at port to confirm phytosanitary standards
