Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 20% to confirm classification as dried fruit, not provisionally preserved under 0812
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA import requirements for dried cherries
• Label accurately with country of origin and 'dried cherries' to avoid reclassification during customs exam
