Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within February 15 to March 31 to qualify for this HTS; use CBP's ACE system for precise timing
• Provide phytosanitary certificates from origin confirming fresh condition and freedom from pests like grape phylloxera
• Avoid misclassification as dried grapes (0806.20); ensure grapes are not dehydrated and are suitable for immediate fresh consumption
