Import Tips
• Verify preservation method is solely provisional (e.g
• brine, no cooking) to avoid reclassification to Chapter 20
• Provide lab analysis confirming unsuitability for immediate eating and documentation of transport intent
• Check country-specific quotas or seasonal restrictions on onion imports to prevent delays
