Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls strictly between June 1 and November 30 to qualify for this tariff rate; late or early shipments shift to higher-duty codes
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates confirm freedom from pests like Mediterranean fruit fly
• Label clearly as 'fresh peaches' to avoid misclassification as preserved fruit under Chapter 08 heading 0812
