Import Tips
• Label plants clearly as 'poinsettias with soil' to match HTS description and avoid reclassification
• Obtain PPQ Form 585 for soil-bearing plants to meet USDA soil import regulations
• Check for seasonal restrictions; poinsettias often face higher scrutiny during peak import holiday periods
