Fresh Red Flame Seedless Grapes from Canada
Red Flame seedless grapes are a popular sweet variety imported fresh during the off-season period from February 15 to March 31. They are classified under HTS 0806.10.20.15 due to their red color and entry timing, which targets winter imports when domestic supply is low. These grapes are hand-harvested and packed for retail sale.

• Provide phytosanitary certificates from origin country confirming grapes are fresh, free from pests, and meet USDA import requirements
• Label bunches with country of origin and variety; avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as table grapes if seedless content exceeds 99%
