Import Tips
• Pair with commercial invoice specifying cocoon yield per 1,000 units for accurate duty assessment
• Ensure no pupae piercing; pierced cocoons risk reclassification as inedible animal products
• Register as agricultural import with USDA APHIS if from non-approved regions to expedite clearance
