Import Tips
• Obtain import permits from APHIS for green coconuts due to potential fruit fly risks; cold treatment often required
• Monitor humidity in shipping to preserve green color and water quality; use reefer containers at 13-15°C
• Document maturity stage to prevent reclassification as processed if overripe
