Import Tips

Maintain cold chain documentation to prove frozen state throughout transport, preventing thaw-related reclassification

Include country-of-origin labels; cassava from Africa or Asia may have specific quarantine rules

Test for microbial contamination, as frozen imports face strict USDA scrutiny
