Import Tips
• Verify USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation accompanies shipment to avoid reclassification or penalties
• Ensure bananas are fresh (not dried) and temperature-controlled during transit to prevent spoilage claims at customs
• Declare exact weight and origin; common pitfall is mislabeling plantains as bananas leading to wrong HTS code
