Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly with entry date and confirm round shape via photos or inspector verification to avoid reclassification
• Ensure cold chain compliance to maintain 'fresh or chilled' status, preventing shift to dried or preserved categories
• Avoid common pitfalls like mixing with non-qualifying tomato types in the same shipment, which requires separate declarations
