Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like spotted wing drosophila, a common issue for blackberries
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 4°C) to prove freshness upon arrival and avoid reclassification as preserved fruit
• Label clearly as 'fresh blackberries' to prevent misclassification; include country of origin and harvest date
