Import Tips
• Verify wild harvest certification from origin country to distinguish from cultivated blueberries under 0810.40.00.20
• Require phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like spotted wing drosophila common in wild berries
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as cultivated; wild blueberries typically smaller (<12mm diameter)
