Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between July 1 and August 31; shipments outside this period classify under different seasonal subheadings
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and pest-free status to comply with USDA APHIS requirements
• Label as 'Persian cucumbers, greenhouse-grown' to avoid misclassification as standard cucumbers under 0707.00.40
