Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within November 15 to February to qualify under this seasonal HTS; mis-timing shifts to other subheadings
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and freedom from pests like tomato leaf miner
• Label clearly as 'cherry tomatoes' with weight under 0.9 kg to avoid reclassification as standard tomatoes
