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
