Fresh Kiwi Fruit (Chinese Gooseberries)

USDA APHIS requires phytosanitary certificates for fresh kiwi from European sources, and shipments may be inspected for regulated pests including the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), which is established in parts of Europe. Italy and other Mediterranean suppliers must comply with APHIS-approved pre-clearance or inspection protocols; failure to meet these conditions can result in hold, treatment, or refusal at the port of entry.

No. Certified organic kiwi (0810500010) and non-organic kiwi (0810500090) are classified under separate 10-digit lines and must be declared and entered separately. Commingling organic and conventional product in a single entry line is a classification error and may also jeopardize the organic certification integrity of the organic portion of the shipment.
