Import Tips
• Verify entry dates fall 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 and freedom from pests, as required for fresh tomatoes
• Avoid common pitfalls like declaring chilled tomatoes as frozen, which would reclassify to Chapter 07 heading 0710
