Import Tips

Verify fruit is fresh and unprocessed; any peeling or cutting shifts it to Chapter 08 processed fruit

Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like fruit flies, required for USDA APHIS clearance

Label cartons with country of origin and variety to avoid misclassification as other subcategories
