Import Tips
• Label containers with net weight, syrup type, and varietal name to meet country-of-origin marking rules
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates proving cherries are from approved orchards to clear USDA inspections
• Avoid bulk shipments over 50 kg; retail packs reduce scrutiny under preserved fruits regs
