Import Tips

• Obtain APHIS import permit for fresh cactus from approved regions; declare as 'fresh cactus leaves' on entry documents

• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'edible cactus fruit' which falls under different codes like 0804

• Monitor temperature logs to prove chilled state and prevent spoilage claims during customs inspection
