Import Tips
• Verify valuation exceeds 22¢/kg with commercial invoices and obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country to confirm freshness and pest-free status
• Comply with USDA APHIS import requirements including cold treatment protocols for certain origins to prevent pests like apple maggot
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring apples are fresh (not frozen or preserved) and document variety to distinguish from statistical breakouts
