Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm no cooking/steaming occurred; importers often err by classifying boiled-then-frozen as 0811.90.40
• Require country-of-origin certificates; papayas from high-risk areas may need fumigation declarations
• Avoid bulk packaging confusion—declare as 'whole' vs 'sliced' to prevent reclassification
