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

Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirming pest-free status, as tomatoes are subject to strict USDA APHIS inspections

Label clearly with country of origin and variety; avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring weight or shape which could trigger reclassification
