Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country confirming pest-free status, as required for fresh cut flowers under APHIS regulations
• Declare exact species as Lisianthus to avoid reclassification; provide invoices specifying fresh, cut condition
• Avoid common pitfalls like exceeding 72-hour post-harvest window, which could trigger duties or rejection at ports
