Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within Dec 1 to Feb end to qualify under this code; off-season shifts to general cucumber provisions
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and pest-free status, as required for fresh produce
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as field-grown, which could reclassify to non-greenhouse codes
