Import Tips
• Verify peat content exceeds 50% by weight and obtain certificates of origin from peat-producing countries like Ireland or Canada
• Ensure packaging complies with ISPM 15 for wooden pallets to avoid fumigation delays at customs
• Declare as fuel articles to prevent misclassification as raw peat under agricultural headings
