Import Tips
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'long seedless' measurements (over 12 inches) and greenhouse certification
• Avoid common pitfall of generic 'cucumber' labeling which may default to higher-duty general codes
• Comply with APHIS import permits for cucurbits to prevent pest introduction risks
