Fresh Yellow Freestone Peaches from Germany
Fresh yellow freestone peaches are a variety of clingstone peaches where the pit easily separates from the flesh, harvested outside the standard summer season. They fall under HTS 0809.30.40.10 as fresh peaches entered at any time other than the primary harvest period, typically imported during off-season months for year-round availability.

Import Tips
• 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
