Import Tips
• Include greenhouse production certificates to substantiate classification away from field-grown tomatoes
• Confirm weight under 0.9 kg per fruit to avoid 'round' statistical categories like 0702.00.2048
• Monitor phytosanitary certificates for pests common in greenhouse tomatoes to prevent customs holds
