Import Tips
• Inspect for maturity stage at harvest; overmature mushrooms may be deemed unfit, triggering FDA rejection
• Include country-of-origin labeling and harvest date on invoices for traceability in case of recalls
• Avoid mixing with non-Agaricus mushrooms in shipments to prevent contamination or classification disputes
