Import Tips & Compliance
• Label variety and confirm not cherry-sized (<0.18 kg) to stay in 'other' category; mis sizing leads to 0702.00.20.40
• Include country-of-origin certificates; heirlooms often from specialty growers needing varietal proof
• Test for chill damage upon arrival—reheated or over-chilled may be deemed provisionally preserved under 0711
