Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within November 15 to February to qualify for this HTS; off-season entries shift to other subheadings
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming fresh/chilled condition and freedom from pests like tomato leaf miner
• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying cherry tomatoes, which fall under 0702.00.40 due to smaller size
