Import Tips
• Check for varietal naming requirements; Vietnamese pomelos often need specific identification to distinguish from grapefruit
• Ensure cold treatment compliance (e.g
• 40°F for 13 days) if required by APHIS for your origin country
• Avoid common pitfall of weight-based misclassification—pomelos over 2lbs don't qualify for miniature citrus breaks
