Import Tips

• Verify mushrooms are fresh or chilled (below 7°C) and free of preservatives to qualify under Chapter 7; provide temperature logs during customs inspection

• Include phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as Agaricus imports often face strict agricultural inspections

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as dried (HTS 0712); ensure invoices specify 'fresh/chilled' and genus
