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
