Import Tips

• Verify truffles are solely dried (no oil infusion or cooking) to qualify under 0712; further prepared items shift to Chapter 20

• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to clear USDA inspections for fungal imports

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as fresh (0709) which triggers different duties and quotas
