Import Tips
• Obtain APHIS import permit for papaya-origin countries due to pest risks like Mediterranean fruit fly
• Avoid bulk packaging over 25kg without proper ventilation to prevent mold during ocean freight
• Declare exact drying method in entry docs to prevent disputes over 'dried' vs 'provisionally preserved' status
