Import Tips
• Verify moisture content is below 13% to qualify as 'dried' and avoid reclassification under fresh mushrooms (0709)
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for fungal imports
• Label with country of origin and scientific name (Lentinus edodes) to prevent customs delays
