Import Tips
• Verify import permits for agricultural products; some regions restrict palm foliage due to pest risks
• Label shipments with scientific name (Chamadorea elegans) and 'fresh ornamental foliage' to match HTS description
• Use refrigerated containers to preserve freshness, as wilting can lead to rejection at customs
