Import Tips
• Verify moisture content is below 3-5% to confirm desiccated status; higher moisture may reclassify as fresh/dried
• Provide phytosanitary certificates from origin country proving treatment meets US FDA and USDA standards
• Label with country of origin and processing details to avoid FDA detention at entry
