Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within July 15 to August 31; shipments outside this period classify under different subheadings like 0702.00.2060
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and freedom from pests to meet USDA APHIS requirements
• Label clearly as 'cherry tomatoes' with weight verification under 0.9 kg to avoid reclassification as globe tomatoes
