Import Tips
• Ensure slices are uniformly processed to meet 'prepared' definition; irregular cuts may raise questions
• Comply with country-specific varietal restrictions, e.g
• some potatoes from certain origins need phytosanitary certificates
• For retort pouches, test for seal integrity to pass CBP physical exams
