Import Tips

Verify weight between 0.91-3.18 kg per fruit to qualify as miniature type under statistical note 2; document with photos or scales at packing

Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming seedless status and freedom from pests like fruit flies, required for melon imports

Avoid misclassification as standard watermelons (0807.11.4020) by ensuring proper sizing; common pitfall is inconsistent fruit sizes in shipments
