Import Tips
• Verify worm purity with supplier certificates to ensure no genetic mixing with invasive species, aiding APHIS clearance
• Import in small batches initially to test survival rates and comply with potential quarantine periods
• Document bedding material composition (e.g
• coconut coir) to prevent issues with plant pest regulations
