Import Tips
• Require EU phytosanitary certificate confirming freedom from pests; seasonal availability affects import quotas
• Label clearly as 'truffles' not mushrooms to avoid reclassification; temperature control below 4°C during transit
• Check for organic certification if marketed as such, per General Statistical Note 6 for statistical reporting
