Import Tips

Obtain certificates of freeze analysis showing core temperature below -18°C to comply with FDA import requirements for frozen foods

Distinguish plantains from sweet bananas in invoices to prevent reclassification; plantains have higher starch content

Avoid bulk packaging over 20kg without proper ventilation to prevent thawing during transit, which could lead to rejection
