Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming treatment for pests like fruit flies, common in pineapple shipments
• Declare exact moisture content and processing method to avoid reclassification as fresh or provisionally preserved fruit
• Watch for fumigation requirements; untreated dried fruit may face quarantine delays at ports
