Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify entry dates fall within May 1-Jun 30 or Sep 1-Nov 30 to qualify under this code; off-season shipments shift to other subheadings
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and freedom from pests, as cucumbers are subject to USDA APHIS inspections
• Label as 'organic' only with approved certification per General Statistical Note 6 to avoid misclassification penalties
