Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify mushrooms are solely dried without additives like oil or preservatives to avoid reclassification under heading 2003
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to comply with USDA APHIS import requirements for fungi
• Ensure proper labeling of country of origin and net weight; common pitfall is misdeclaring as 'fresh' leading to penalties
