Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation at entry to verify 'certified organic' status per statistical notes

• Maintain cold chain with temperatures below 10°C to comply with fresh/chilled classification and avoid spoilage claims

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as seed potatoes, which shifts to 0701.90.10, by confirming edible use only
