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
