Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 20% to confirm dried status; excessive moisture may reclassify as fresh fruit
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA import requirements for dried fruits
• Label accurately with pit status and varietal origin to avoid misclassification penalties
