Import Tips
• Verify unit weight including immediate container does not exceed 4.6 kg to avoid reclassification to higher weight categories
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming treatment for pests, as dates are subject to USDA APHIS inspections
• Label packages with country of origin, date variety, and 'whole dates' to prevent misclassification as processed fruit
