Import Tips

Verify entry timing against peak season exclusions (e.g

May 1-Dec 31 for some origins) to confirm 0807.11.4090 applicability

Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like melon fly; fumigation may be required for certain origins

Avoid misclassification as miniature (0807.11.3020/4020) by documenting individual fruit weight over 3.18 kg
