Import Tips

Bing or Lambert) via supplier certificates to avoid reclassification to sour varieties

Include lab analysis for sugar content and Brix value if required, as it impacts preservation claims

Watch for pesticide residues common in cherries; provide MRL compliance docs to prevent FDA holds
