Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify entry timing against USDA seasonal charts to confirm 'any other time' classification and avoid misclassification as duty-free fresh peaches
• Require phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries confirming freedom from pests like Mediterranean fruit fly, common in peach imports
• Ensure peaches remain fresh and unpackaged in bulk cartons; processing like peeling disqualifies from fresh fruit heading
