Import Tips
• Include lab tests for pesticide residues common in tropical banana production to pass CBP agricultural inspections
• Use ISPM-15 compliant wooden pallets for shipping to avoid fumigation delays at US ports
• Declare exact Brix level if any natural sugar concentration occurs during freezing to preempt duty adjustments
