Import Tips

• Verify the squash is fresh or chilled and meets phytosanitary requirements for Cucurbita spp. to avoid rejection at entry

• Provide certificates of origin and inspection reports confirming varietal identity as kabocha, distinct from other squash types

• Avoid common pitfalls like declaring as dried or processed, which shifts to Chapter 07 exclusions or heading 0711
