Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify moisture content below 10% to confirm 'dried' status and avoid reclassification under fresh onions (0703)
• Provide certificates of analysis showing no additives beyond drying to comply with 'not further prepared' requirement
• Label country of origin clearly, as onion origin affects phytosanitary certificates required by USDA APHIS
