Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it shall be, when thou [art] come in unto the land,.... The land of Canaan, which they were now on the borders of, and just entering into:
which the Lord thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance; which is often mentioned, to observe that it was not through their merits, but his gift, that they should enjoy the land; and the rather here to enforce the following law concerning the basket of firstfruits:
and possessest it, and dwellest therein; not only had entered into it, but got the possession of it, and settled there. This shows as Jarchi observes, that they were not bound to the firstfruits till they had subdued the land and divided it; not as soon as they were in it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Two liturgical enactments having a clear and close reference to the whole of the preceding legislation, form a most appropriate and significant conclusion to it, namely,
(1) the formal acknowledgment in deed and symbol of God’s faithfulness, by presentment of a basket filled with firstfruits, and in word by recitation of the solemn formula prescribed in Deuteronomy 26:3, Deuteronomy 26:5-10; and
(2) the solemn declaration and profession on the part of each Israelite on the occasion of the third tithe Deuteronomy 26:12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

The form of confession to be used on the occasion, 3-11.
The third year's tithe to be given to the Levites and the poor,

The Israelites are to take Jehovah for their God, and to keep
his testimonies, 16, 17.
And Jehovah is to take them for his people, and make them high
above all the nations of the earth, 18, 19.
