Import Tips
• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation at entry to verify 'certified organic' status per General Statistical Note 6
• Confirm entry date falls within November 15 to February end; off-season imports shift to other subheadings like 0702.00.40
• Ensure tomatoes are fresh/chilled and round (globe/slicing/beefsteak shape, ≤0.9kg) to avoid reclassification; inspect for damage
