Import Tips
• Provide harvest-use affidavits from manufacturer to distinguish from general crates during customs review
• Check for mold or fungus treatments on wood, as agricultural inspectors scrutinize fruit-contact materials
• Bundle in quantities matching standard pallet loads to optimize shipping and avoid excess dunnage charges
