Import Tips

• Verify persimmons are fresh and not dried or processed to avoid reclassification under 0813; inspect for moisture content

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirming pest-free status, required for USDA APHIS entry

• Label clearly as 'fresh persimmons' with country of origin; common pitfall is misdeclaring astringent varieties
