Import Tips
• Provide certificates verifying bergamots are dried naturally without chemical preservatives to stay in fresh/dried fruit heading
• Label moisture content to distinguish from processed peels; high moisture may trigger reclassification
• Monitor EU origin rules as many bergamots come from Italy/Calabria with specific varietal declarations
