Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries to comply with USDA APHIS import regulations for fresh citrus
• Ensure oranges are free from quarantine pests like citrus greening; fumigation may be required for certain origins
• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh oranges' to avoid misclassification into processed fruit categories
