Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within July 15 to August 31 to qualify for this specific tariff rate; late entries shift to general rates
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates confirming freezing process preserves vegetables without suitability for immediate consumption
• Label packages clearly with product details, net weight, and 'keep frozen' warnings to comply with FDA import requirements and avoid detention
