Import Tips
• Verify certification for 'certified organic' per General Statistical Note 6 and ensure flats weigh ≤0.91kg excluding plastic
• Provide processing end-use documentation; misclassification as fresh market can lead to reclassification and penalties
• Confirm strawberries are loose-packed, not in consumer clamshells, to qualify under statistical note 3
