Import Tips
• Verify flowers are fresh and free of pests; obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country to comply with USDA APHIS requirements
• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh cut Gerbera flowers' with origin and date to prevent misclassification as dried goods
• Avoid common pitfalls like exceeding temperature controls during transit, which can cause wilting and reclassification issues
