Import Tips
• Declare varietal (e.g
• Mexican lime) precisely to match 'lime' description and avoid grapefruit misclassification
• Ensure cold chain logistics with temperature logs to maintain Brix stability during transit
• Watch for reclassification if minor additives exceed 'small quantities' allowed in notes
