Import Tips
• Verify flowers are fresh and not dried to avoid reclassification under 0603.14; include phytosanitary certificates
• Label bunches by variety and origin; common pitfall is improper temperature control during shipping leading to spoilage claims
• Check country-specific quotas as miniature carnations may have seasonal restrictions
