Import Tips

• Include variety-specific documentation if challenged, as Persian types are accepted under 'cantaloupes' per HTS notes

• Comply with cold treatment requirements for pest-free certification, common for melon imports from Mexico or Central America

• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests processing; use consumer-ready crates to maintain fresh fruit status
