Import Tips

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
