Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between April 1 and June 30 to qualify for this specific tariff rate; late entries shift to general fresh grape codes
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming grapes are fresh, red varieties, and free from pests like grape phylloxera
• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh red table grapes' to avoid misclassification as dried (0806.20) or off-season imports
