Import Tips

• Obtain prior notice via FDA's system for all frozen vegetable imports and ensure cold chain integrity during transit to prevent spoilage claims

• Document blanching process and freezing method on invoices; test for pesticide residues as sweet corn is often scrutinized

• Avoid misdeclaration as 'canned' which would go to 2005.80; specify 'frozen' clearly
