Import Tips
• Ensure the roots are free of soil and pests to meet CFIA phytosanitary requirements; a phytosanitary certificate may be needed
• Since the roots are wild, verify CITES obligations for Panax quinquefolius
• Keep the roots fresh and properly packaged to avoid spoilage during customs clearance
