Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between April 1 and June 30; shipments outside this period classify under different statistical suffixes
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like grape phylloxera, required for fresh fruit imports
• Ensure grapes are inspected for residue levels compliant with FDA and USDA standards to avoid detention
