Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries to comply with USDA APHIS requirements for fresh cut flowers

• Declare exact species (Ranunculus asiaticus) and ensure flowers remain fresh without drying during transit to avoid reclassification

• Monitor seasonal quotas and use refrigerated shipping to prevent wilting, a common cause of customs rejection
