Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like thrips, required for all fresh cut flower imports
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 5°C) to prove freshness and avoid spoilage claims at customs
• Label clearly as 'fresh cut carnations for ornamental use' to prevent misclassification as Chapter 7 vegetables
