Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between November 15 and last day of February to qualify for this seasonal HTS; mis-timing leads to higher rates
• Provide phytosanitary certificates from origin confirming freshness and pest-free status, as required for fresh produce
• Label clearly as 'fresh/chilled tomatoes' avoiding any preservation claims to prevent reclassification
