Import Tips
• Use refrigerated containers to maintain freshness; spoilage leads to CBP rejection and duty refunds
• Include varietal info (e.g
• green dwarf) on commercial invoice for statistical reporting accuracy
• Avoid plastic wrapping that could imply processing; loose bulk packing preserves fresh classification
