Import Tips
• 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
