Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates from exporting country to meet USDA APHIS requirements for fruit flies and quarantine pests
• Maintain cold chain (32-41°F) during transit to prevent spoilage; declare exact weight and origin accurately
• Avoid misclassification as preserved fruit; ensure fruits remain fresh and suitable only for immediate consumption
