Import Tips

• Verify the garlic is reduced beyond clove size (e.g

• minced or diced) and frozen per Chapter 7 notes to avoid misclassification as whole cloves under 0710.80.9070

• Provide lab analysis or processing certificates confirming size reduction and quick-freezing method to customs for smooth clearance

• Check for pesticide residues compliant with FDA standards, as garlic imports often face scrutiny; common pitfall is inadequate phytosanitary certificates
