Classification notes
Fresh produce imports require phytosanitary certificates in almost every destination. USDA APHIS (US), MAFF (Japan), DAFF (Australia), and MPI (NZ) run the strictest regimes; seasonal import prohibitions are common.
Frequent misclassification
Dried pulses classify under 0713, not Chapter 10 (cereals). Frozen vegetables stay in Chapter 07 (0710) even if blanched; preserved-in-vinegar vegetables move to Chapter 20.
