Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates from origin to comply with USDA APHIS requirements for fresh plant materials
• Ensure packaging prevents moisture buildup to avoid spoilage during transit; declare as fresh to prevent misclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like undeclared treatments (e.g
• preservatives) which could shift to 'prepared' subheadings
