Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within November 15 to February to qualify under this code; off-season entries shift to other subheadings
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and freedom from pests like tomato leaf miner
• Label clearly as 'grape tomatoes' to distinguish from round varieties; misclassification as globe types leads to re-assessment
