Import Tips
• Provide detailed grading certificates showing premium quality to justify valuation over 22¢/kg and prevent down-valuation by customs
• Ensure compliance with FDA prior notice requirements for fresh produce and label country of origin clearly on shipping containers
• Watch for common pitfalls like residue from post-harvest treatments; test for maximum residue limits (MRLs) applicable to apple pesticides
