How to File an Informal Reparation Complaint  
We can handle your claim if:

 
  • The dispute involves a contract for fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables;
  • The product was shipped between two states or countries;
  • You submit the complaint in writing to us within 9 months of the transaction; and
  • You provide us with copies of documents that establish the amount of your claim such as invoices, signed bills of lading, and/or accounts of sale.

 
Effective June 30, 2008, the informal filing fee has increased to $100. You may file your written complaint with any PACA regional office.
