Import Tips
• Conduct Brix testing (minimum 16°) to verify ripeness for fresh classification; overripe grapes risk downgrade
• Declare exact varietal name on commercial invoice to support red variety tariff line assignment
• Monitor for quarantine pests; obtain import permits for regions with known grapevine diseases
