Import Tips
• Include country-of-origin marking clearly visible on shipping containers as 'Product of Chile'
• Ensure cold treatment compliance (e.g
• 40°F for 16 days) per USDA APHIS for vapor heat or irradiation
• Watch for weight-based customs valuation; nectarines often command premium pricing over peaches
