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
