Import Tips
• Verify container net weight exceeds 255g and confirm Agaricus genus via supplier documentation to avoid reclassification
• Provide commercial invoice detailing slice style, preservation method (e.g
• brine), and country of origin for smooth CBP clearance
• Watch for pesticide residue compliance under FDA import alerts; common pitfall is mislabeling as whole mushrooms
