Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm tomato weight does not exceed 0.9 kg per statistical note to avoid reclassification as cherry or other types
• Include commercial invoice detailing greenhouse origin and varietal to support tariff shift claims
• Avoid common pitfall of chilled tomatoes warming above 7°C during transit, which could deem them 'fresh' only if properly documented
