Import Tips
• Label packages with harvest date and storage temperature to prove freshness; exceeding 7°C may reclassify as unfit
• Obtain import permits from USDA APHIS for fungal inspections, common for Agaricus from Europe or Asia
• Document varietal purity to avoid confusion with specialty mushrooms under different subheadings
