Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'miniature seedless watermelons' with average weights to prevent reclassification during customs inspection
• Comply with USDA APHIS import requirements including cold treatment for pest mitigation on fresh melons from abroad
• Watch for weight over 3.18 kg which disqualifies miniature status; batch-sort fruits to avoid mixed-size pallets
