Import Tips
• Verify onion diameter does not exceed 16 mm with measurements at entry to avoid reclassification to 0703.10.20.00
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming fresh/chilled condition and pest-free status from origin country
• Label clearly as 'pearl onions' to distinguish from standard onions; watch for common mismeasurement pitfalls
