Import Tips
• Verify freshness upon arrival with phytosanitary certificates to comply with USDA APHIS import requirements for cut flowers
• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh cut hydrangea' to avoid misclassification as dried goods
• Check seasonal quotas and ensure proper cooling chain to prevent wilting during transit, a common rejection cause
