Import Tips

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries like Japan confirming freedom from pests and diseases specific to mushrooms

• Verify freshness upon arrival; chilled matsutake must be stored below 4°C to avoid reclassification as unfit for import

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling species—only listed Tricholoma varieties qualify; others fall under general mushrooms
