Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure grapes remain fresh without any drying or preservation treatment to avoid reclassification under heading 0812
• Conduct residue testing for pesticides; common pitfall is failing APHIS inspections leading to shipment rejection
• Use cold chain logistics to maintain temperature below 5°C during transit to preserve quality and classification
