Import Tips
• Use invoices specifying 'Roma/plum type' and organic status; CBP may inspect for varietal compliance
• Maintain cold chain (chilled <13°C) to qualify as 'fresh or chilled' vs. heading 0711 preserved veg
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking processing intent, as that could trigger 0709.60 codes if misclassified
