Import Tips

Label shipments clearly as 'fresh mangosteens' with variety specified to avoid reclassification during customs inspection

Maintain cold chain documentation (typically 13-15°C) to prove freshness and prevent spoilage claims at entry

Check for quota restrictions or additional FDA prior notice requirements for fresh tropical fruits
