Import Tips
• Korean pine nuts often require methyl bromide fumigation certificates; verify treatment compliance before shipment
• Test for aflatoxin levels as Asian pine nuts have higher risk; labs must certify below FDA action levels
• Label moisture content (typically under 7%) to prevent mold claims during transit
