Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify entry timing against USDA seasonal restrictions for grapefruit/pomelos to ensure classification in 0805.40.80.90 rather than principal entry codes
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like Mediterranean fruit fly, required for all fresh citrus imports
• Label clearly as 'pomelo' (not grapefruit) to avoid misclassification; include country of origin and variety if specified
