Import Tips
• Verify mushrooms are fresh or chilled and belong to Cantharellus genus via botanical certification to avoid reclassification
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like mushroom flies, required for USDA clearance
• Maintain cold chain below 4°C during transit to prevent spoilage and ensure suitability for immediate consumption
