Import Tips
• Ensure the cantaloupes are fresh and not chilled, as chilled fruits classify under the same heading as fresh per Chapter Note 2
• Verify that the product is edible and not inedible, as inedible nuts or fruits are excluded from Chapter 8
• Declare the correct weight including packaging, as supplementary notes may apply to certain headings, though not specifically to 0807
