Import Tips

• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming the corms are dormant, pest-free, and meet USDA APHIS import requirements to avoid quarantine

• Declare exact botanical variety and dormant state on entry documents; misclassification as 'in growth' could shift to other subheadings

• Avoid common pitfalls like soil residue on corms, which triggers fumigation—ensure clean, dry packaging compliant with soil import bans
