Import Tips
• Verify botanical classification as Citrus limon and ensure fresh condition (not dried or preserved) to avoid reclassification under heading 0812
• Provide phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries confirming freedom from pests like Mediterranean fruit fly, as required by APHIS
• Declare net weight accurately, excluding packaging, and label variety if known to match statistical breakout requirements
