Import Tips
• Verify moisture content is below 20% to qualify as 'dried fruit' per HTS definitions; provide lab certificates if requested
• Include phytosanitary certificates confirming treatment for pests, as dried berries often face agricultural inspections
• Avoid misclassification as fresh berries (0808) by documenting dehydration process and weight loss evidence
