Import Tips
• Document the cutting process and freezing method to prove 'reduced in size' status and avoid reclassification as whole
• Ensure compliance with USDA grading standards for frozen vegetables if targeting premium markets
• Check for pesticide residues via lab testing, as asparagus is prone to contamination issues at borders
