Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'live chrysanthemum plants with soil' to match 0602.90.3010 and avoid reclassification to lower-duty bare-root codes
• Test for soil-borne pathogens like Verticillium wilt prior to export, as CBP inspections frequently flag chrysanthemum nursery stock
• Use ISPM 15-compliant wooden crates for potted plants to prevent fumigation delays at US ports
