Import Tips
• Use refrigerated containers and provide temperature logs to prove 'chilled' status during customs inspection
• Label with country of origin and botanical name to prevent misclassification as generic potatoes
• Avoid bulk mixing with frozen goods, as this could trigger reclassification under frozen subheadings
