Import Tips
• Verify freshness with phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases common to Rubus species
• Ensure proper cold chain documentation to maintain import eligibility as 'fresh' rather than preserved
• Label accurately as 'black raspberries' to avoid misclassification with blackberries
