Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'round tomatoes per stat note 2' and include weight verification to avoid reclassification
• Comply with USDA APHIS import requirements for chilled tomatoes, including cold treatment if from pest-prone regions
• Watch for overripe fruit mistaken for preserved; must remain unsuitable for immediate consumption if treated
