Import Tips
• Include detailed botanical identification on invoices as Dracaena sanderiana to distinguish from true bamboo species
• Comply with USDA soil import restrictions; lucky bamboo often ships without soil to facilitate entry
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring plants arrive alive; dead plants may be reclassified or destroyed at port
