Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis confirming tart variety and no fermentation to prevent misclassification as juice products
• Check for country-specific pesticide residue limits; EU-sourced cherries often require additional testing
• Use clear invoices specifying 'tart cherries' to avoid disputes at entry
