Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates from origin to confirm freshness and pest-free status, as required for live plant imports
• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh cut orchids' to avoid misclassification with dried flowers under 0603.14
• Monitor seasonal quotas or restrictions on orchid imports from certain countries to prevent delays
