Import Tips
• Obtain EU or origin-country export certificates confirming varietal purity and freedom from quarantined pests
• Use refrigerated containers to maintain quality, as currants are highly perishable with short shelf life
• Avoid common pitfalls like overripe shipments by specifying maturity standards in purchase contracts
