Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh kabocha squash' with weight and origin to match statistical notes for accurate duty assessment

• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits for cucurbits to prevent pest introduction, a frequent issue with Asian-sourced kabocha

• Steer clear of bulk packaging that mimics processing states, as this could trigger reclassification under provisional preservation rules
