Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with 'peeled and frozen yautia' and species confirmation to prevent disputes at customs
• Maintain cold chain records from origin to destination to prove the product was frozen solely for transport preservation
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient phytosanitary certificates, required for tropical tubers to clear USDA inspections
