Import Tips & Compliance
• Label clearly as Agaricus bisporus to distinguish from other brown mushrooms; mislabeling can lead to CBP reclassification
• Ensure cold chain maintenance during shipping to keep chilled (below 7°C) and avoid spoilage claims at entry
• For bulk imports, use ventilated packaging to prevent moisture buildup and ethylene exposure from other produce
