Fresh Red Seedless Grapes from Mexico
These are fresh red seedless grapes, such as Flame Seedless variety, imported during the period from February 15 to March 31. They fall under HTS 0806.10.20 due to the seasonal entry restriction for fresh grapes during this off-season period when domestic supply is low. The code specifically applies to fresh grapes entered in this timeframe.

Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between February 15 and March 31; shipments outside this period classify under 0806.10.10
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming grapes are fresh and free from pests like grape phylloxera
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring grapes are not treated for preservation, as that would shift to Chapter 08 heading 0812
