Import Tips
• Provide organic certification from approved standards (per General Statistical Note 6) and seedless verification documentation
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclared entry dates outside the winter window, which shifts to year-round codes
• Use phytosanitary certificates confirming fresh condition and freedom from quarantine pests
