Import Tips
• Use insulated packaging with ice packs; customs may reject if not maintained chilled to prevent spoilage claims
• Provide certificates of origin and residue testing for pesticides, as portobellos from certain regions face extra scrutiny
• Specify 'other Agaricus' on manifests to prevent reclassification to generic fresh vegetable codes
