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
