Import Tips
• Conduct moisture content tests (<10%) pre-shipment; excess moisture can lead to rejection at ports
• Use ISPM-15 compliant wooden crates to meet international phytosanitary standards
• Document genetic strain (e.g
• bivoltine yellow) to support value declarations and prevent undervaluation claims
