La logística de las flores que llegan a los Estados Unidos para San Valentín
Los productos florales pueden ser más difíciles de llevar a los Estados Unidos que otras importaciones. Además de los requisitos de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza (CBP), los importadores deben seguir las regulaciones del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA). El USDA verifica que las importaciones agrícolas como las flores estén libres de plagas y enfermedades, entre otros. Antes de comenzar, hay que asegurarse de que el envío cumpla con los requisitos de entrada. Si bien los importadores suelen enviar rosas rojas durante el Día de San Valentín, cada tipo de flor puede tener sus propios requisitos, que determina el USDA. Por ejemplo, los arreglos de flores, los ramos y las plantas en maceta tienen diferentes requisitos, y no entenderlos puede afectar negativamente su importación.
