Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between November 15 and last day of February to apply this HTS; off-season uses different subheading
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse production and round shape per statistical note 2 to avoid reclassification
• Label clearly as fresh/chilled; avoid any preservation treatments that could shift to heading 0711
