Import Tips
• Use clear packaging showing natural fuzzy skin to distinguish from pears (0808.30) at customs exam
• Document varietal purity to avoid blending with apple-pear hybrids under different subheadings
• Monitor ethylene exposure during shipping as quinces are climacteric fruits sensitive to ripening gases
