Import Tips
• Verify IQF processing and peeling status in documentation to confirm HTS 2004.90.85.65 classification; unpeeled bulbs fall elsewhere
• Include certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to meet FDA and USDA import requirements for frozen garlic
• Avoid misdeclaration as fresh garlic (0703) which has different quotas and duties
