Import Tips
• Submit photos or samples showing puree texture confirms reduction beyond clove; avoid classifying as paste if oil-added
• Comply with APHIS import permits for garlic to prevent quarantine issues, a frequent pitfall for frozen veg imports
• Use accurate invoices specifying 'reduced size frozen garlic' to match statistical reporting requirements
