Import Tips
• Include variety-specific documentation if available; ensure compliance with APHIS import regulations for solanaceous fruits
• Avoid common error of grouping with peppers; tomatillos require specific HTS declaration for accurate duty assessment
• Monitor for ripeness at entry port—overripe fruit may be rejected or reclassified
