Import Tips
• Provide production records showing steaming/boiling step and sugar addition to justify Chapter 08 classification
• Use temperature logs in shipping docs to prove frozen state (<0°F) upon arrival, preventing spoilage claims
• Check for varietal labeling; some countries require origin-specific strawberry type disclosure
