Import Tips
• Schedule imports for fall/winter peak season; off-season shipments face higher scrutiny for viability
• Comply with cold treatment protocols (e.g
• 28 days at 0-2°C) for quarantine pests like chestnut gall wasp
• Avoid plastic packaging; use mesh bags for air circulation to pass FDA inspection
