Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'tart cherries' with varietal name to support HTS 0813.40.30.10 classification during customs review
• Test for residual sulfur dioxide if dried with sulfuring; levels must comply with FDA food safety standards
• Avoid bulk packaging over 11.34 kg net weight to prevent statistical breakouts or different reporting requirements
