Import Tips
• Verify the papaya was frozen uncooked (not steamed/boiled) to stay in 0811; provide freezing process certification
• Include phytosanitary certificates proving pest-free status, as tropical fruits face strict USDA APHIS scrutiny
• Label net weight excluding any added sugar; common pitfall is misdeclaring as puree which shifts to 0811.90.20
