Import Tips

• Verify entry date falls within March 1-July 14 or September 1-November 14 to qualify under this code; off-season entries shift to other subheadings

• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freshness/chilled state and freedom from pests; include variety confirmation as cherry tomatoes

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying larger globe tomatoes, which fall under different statistical suffixes; weigh samples to confirm under 0.9 kg
