Import Tips
• Verify freshness upon import with phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA APHIS requirements and avoid quarantine
• Label shipments clearly as 'fresh cut flowers' to prevent misclassification as dried goods under 0603.90
• Monitor seasonal quotas or anti-dumping duties from major exporters like Colombia or Ecuador
