Import Tips
• Verify entry dates fall within March 1-July 14 or September 1-November 14 to qualify for this code; off-season entries shift to other subheadings
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and freedom from pests like tomato leaf miner, as required for fresh tomato imports
• Avoid misclassification by confirming cherry size (under 0.9 kg, round shape) via commercial invoice and packing details to prevent audits
