Import Tips
• Use cold chain logistics to maintain freshness; temperature logs help prove compliance during inspections
• Document varietal purity—mixing with red grapes risks reclassification to a different color subheading
• Watch for seasonal tariff changes; mis timed entries lead to higher duties or different statistical reporting
