Import Tips & Compliance

Provide commercial invoices specifying 'white nectarines' with varietal name and entry date to support off-season classification

Comply with APHIS import regulations including cold treatment protocols for fruit fly prevention from regions like Chile or Spain

Avoid retail packaging; bulk shipping in ventilated crates maintains fresh classification and prevents duty reassessment
