Import Tips
• Ensure cold chain maintenance (32-40°F) during transit; temperature logs prevent spoilage claims at entry
• Declare varietal type if requested; Eastern vs Western affects market but not HTS classification
• Watch for misclassification as honeydew (0807.19.30.00) based on smooth skin vs netted rind
