Import Tips

• Document IQF processing to distinguish from whole frozen cloves; inspect for uniform dice size under 1 cm to confirm 'reduced beyond clove'

• Ensure cold chain integrity during shipping with temperature logs, as thawing can lead to reclassification or rejection

• Label with country of origin and varietal if organic, avoiding pitfalls like missing statistical notes for certified organic garlic
