Import Tips
• Verify moisture content is below 13% to confirm 'dried' status and avoid reclassification as fresh under 0709
• Provide certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate to prove no chemical preservatives were used
• Label accurately as 'whole dried shiitake' to prevent customs disputes over 'further prepared' status
