Import Tips

Verify berries are fresh and suitable for immediate consumption; frozen or processed berries shift to different headings like 0810.90.60

Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like spotted wing drosophila, common for berry imports

Avoid misclassification as 'for processing' (0810.90.40) by ensuring packaging is retail-ready, not bulk flats under 2 lbs
