Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'taro pellets' with botanical name Colocasia spp. to match HTS description and prevent inspection delays
• Comply with USDA APHIS import requirements for roots/tubers, including phytosanitary certificates
• Avoid mixing with other tubers, as this could lead to average duty rates or reclassification as a mixture
