Import Tips
• Specify variety on commercial invoice to match certificates of origin for preferential tariff treatment
• Package in mesh bags for air circulation; avoid plastic to prevent fungal growth common in dwarf types
• Beware of size-based misclassification; dwarfs remain in 0801.12 even if smaller than standard
