Import Tips

• Maintain cold chain documentation to prove frozen state upon entry, avoiding reclass to fresh (1211.90.4020)

• Test for glucosinolate levels if blended with brassicas to prevent overlap with oilseed exclusions

• Declare intended end-use in Entry Summary to justify 1211 over general vegetable chapters
