Import Tips
• Include drying method documentation (air-dried vs. oven-dried) to prove ornamental preparation and avoid fresh classification
• Watch for mold during storage; fumigation certificates may be needed if pests are detected at entry
• Bundle counts must match invoices precisely, as discrepancies can trigger valuation audits
