Import Tips
• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming the plant is free from pests and diseases
• Verify import permit requirements from USDA APHIS for live plants to avoid quarantine holds
• Label shipments clearly with botanical name (Aloe vera) and declare as live plants to prevent misclassification as cut foliage
