Import Tips & Compliance

Verify moisture content is below 13% to qualify as 'dried' and avoid reclassification under fresh vegetables (0709)

Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as mushrooms are regulated agricultural products

Label accurately with country of origin and processing method to prevent customs holds for misdeclaration
