Import Tips & Compliance

Label packages clearly with 'Dormant Gladiolus Corms - Not for Propagation in Restricted Areas' to comply with federal noxious weed regulations

Use breathable mesh bags for packaging to prevent moisture buildup, which could cause premature growth and reclassification

Check state-specific import rules, as some U.S. states restrict gladiolus due to potential viral diseases like bean yellow mosaic virus
