Import Tips
• Obtain export certificates from origin countries confirming no prohibited pesticides, as yams are high-risk for residues
• Use ISF filings early for frozen goods to prevent delays; include detailed harmonized descriptions
• Test for moisture content to ensure not partially dried, which could shift classification
