Compliance That Varies by Market: Pesticide Residues (MRL)
Caliber and classification are destination-independent, but pesticide-residue limits (MRL) vary by target market; for some products the check happens on arrival, while for others a pre-shipment official certificate and laboratory analysis may be required. Since the exact requirements by product and market change regularly, see our Pesticide Residue and MRL Compliance Guide for the current status.
