Import Tips
• Verify entry date to confirm 'other time' status (outside May-Aug Northern Hemisphere); misclassification can lead to penalties
• Provide phytosanitary certificates from origin country proving fresh condition and pest-free status
• Label cartons with varietal name, origin, and net weight; avoid residue suggesting drying process
