Import Tips

• Include APHIS PPQ Form 587 for ornamental cut flowers to expedite entry at US ports

• Label packages clearly with 'Fresh Cut Flowers - Perishable' to ensure priority handling and avoid duty misclassification

• Verify invoice quantities match actual stems; discrepancies often lead to audits for undervaluation
