Import Tips
• Include fumigation certificates if required for fungus imports to comply with plant quarantine regulations
• Ensure no sulfuring or chemical preservatives were used, as that could trigger heading 0711 for provisionally preserved vegetables
• Declare exact species name on invoices to distinguish from common mushrooms and avoid statistical note misreporting
