Import Tips
• Verify country of origin labeling as many avocados come from Mexico; ensure compliance with FDA food safety standards
• Provide detailed packing lists specifying net weight and brine composition to avoid reclassification
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'fresh' which shifts to lower-duty fresh produce codes
