Import Tips
• Obtain USDA phytosanitary certificate confirming pest-free status and proper cold chain maintenance during transit
• Declare exact sugar content if added; misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Ensure packaging labels origin as 'cultivated' to avoid confusion with wild blueberries under different subheadings
