Import Tips

Verify flowers are fresh and free from pests; obtain phytosanitary certificates from origin country to meet USDA APHIS requirements

Label shipments clearly as 'fresh cut daffodils' with botanical name (Narcissus) to avoid misclassification

Avoid common pitfalls like exceeding 72-hour post-harvest window, which could reclassify as dried under 0603.90
