Import Tips
• Verify USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation to match General Statistical Note 6 standards
• Confirm entry date falls between July 15 and August 31; otherwise, reclassify to non-seasonal codes
• Ensure tomatoes are fresh/chilled and weigh ≤0.9kg to avoid misclassification as non-round varieties
