Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly with variety and origin; misidentification can trigger reclassification or duties

• Ensure cold chain compliance (optimal 10-13°C storage) to prevent chilling injury during transit

• Watch for tariff rate quotas (TRQs); exceeding seasonal limits may incur higher over-quota duties
