Import Tips
• Verify aflatoxin levels comply with FDA limits (20 ppb total) via testing certificates to avoid detention
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like navel orangeworm
• Label accurately with country of origin and net weight; mislabeling as 'blanched' leads to reclassification
