Import Tips

Verify entry date falls between July 15 and August 31; shipments outside this window may shift to other seasonal subheadings like 0702.00.2048

Require phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and freedom from pests, as grape tomatoes are susceptible to specific quarantines

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as cherry tomatoes; grape varieties are statistically defined by size and shape under HTS notes
