Import Tips
• Check for export quotas from Turkey; matsutake may require special permits due to wild harvesting regulations
• Ensure EU phytosanitary compliance if transshipping—mismatches lead to border delays and extra duties
• Document species via lab certification; visual ID alone risks reclassification to broader categories
