Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within August 1 to September 15; shipments outside this period shift to HTS 0807.19.20.00 with different rates
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming pest-free status and compliance with USDA APHIS import requirements for fresh produce
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as 'watermelon' (HTS 0807.11) which has separate seasonal codes
