Import Tips
• Use FDA Prior Notice filing for all frozen berry shipments to prevent detention at ports
• Test for pesticide residues as wild berries may have natural contaminants; provide lab analysis if requested by CBP
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as cultivated to evade higher duties—wild certification is audited
