Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 22% to qualify as 'dried' per HTS definitions; higher levels may reclassify as fresh
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming fumigation treatment to meet USDA APHIS requirements for dried fruits
• Label with country of origin and pit presence clearly to avoid CBP reclassification during inspection
