Import Tips
• Verify entry date to ensure compliance with 'any other time' excluding May 1-Aug 31; use CBP's seasonal entry guidelines
• Provide phytosanitary certificates from origin confirming fresh, untreated status and pest-free condition
• Label as 'fresh strawberries' with country of origin; avoid clamshell packaging if misclassified as processed
