Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'peeled clove garlic, frozen' to distinguish from garlic bulbs and support correct HTS classification
• Conduct sulfur residue testing if from high-sulfur regions to comply with FDA food safety standards
• Track seasonal quotas if applicable, as garlic imports face anti-dumping scrutiny
