Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates to ensure the cassava is free from pests like cassava mosaic virus, common in tropical imports
• Confirm freshness upon arrival; dried or processed cassava shifts to other HTS codes, avoiding misclassification penalties
• Label accurately as 'fresh cassava' to comply with FDA import requirements for root vegetables
