Import Tips

Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like chrysanthemum gall midge, as required for all live plants with soil

Verify soil attachment qualifies under 0602.90.3010; bare-root shipments shift to 0602.90.2020 to avoid misclassification

Comply with USDA APHIS import permits for herbaceous perennials to prevent quarantine issues common with chrysanthemum imports
