Import Tips
• Confirm tomato shape as 'round' per statistical note; elongated varieties may require different classification
• Prepare for CBP inspections focusing on ripeness and contamination; clean, intact packing reduces rejection risk
• Track seasonal windows precisely—entries just outside periods face different rates or quotas
