Import Tips
• Verify the okra is frozen without added seasonings or preservatives to stay in 0710; provide blanching and sizing certificates
• Label packages clearly with 'reduced-size frozen okra' and country of origin to comply with FDA vegetable import rules
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as whole okra (0710.80.90.00), which changes duties; inspect for proper freezing chain
