Import Tips
• Obtain APHIS PPQ 585 permit prior to export for cut flowers to meet US import requirements
• Use refrigerated containers at 1-4°C to maintain freshness and prevent duty adjustments for damaged goods
• Document exact species to prevent reclassification; generic 'mixed flowers' labels can trigger inspections
